52 years oldGordie Howe
Gordie Howe played his final NHL game on April 11, 1980, aged 52 years and 11 days. Guinness calls him the oldest player in NHL history. He scored 15 goals that final season for Hartford, at age 51 and 52.
He was still scoring NHL goals when most players have been retired for 15 years.

13 goals
Just Fontaine scored 13 goals in six matches at the 1958 World Cup. This record still stands for the most goals in a single tournament. It was the only World Cup he ever played in.
It is absurd that such a remarkable feat came from a player who only participated in one World Cup.
