JapanCounted from the international goal archive — every scorer-credited goal in the matches it covers, 1916 to today. A record of covered matches, not a complete career count; own goals never join a scorer's tally.
Kazuyoshi "Kazu" Miura , nicknamed King Kazu, is a Japanese professional footballer who plays as a forward for J3 League club Fukushima United, on loan from J2 League club Yokohama FC. He is the world's oldest professional player. In addition, he is one of the few players to have made over 1,000 career appearances. — Wikipedia

In the line-ups
1 appearance in recorded line-ups · 1992The archive holds 1 team sheet naming Kazuyoshi Miura in Japan's starting line-up, on 1992-11-08.
1 appearance in the starting line-ups the archive holds — not a career total. Our line-up coverage is partial, so a match he played that we hold no sheet for is simply not counted here.
