Leo Gottesman organises and keeps goal for six-a-side matches Powerleague Barnet - and has done for 40 years.
An 82‑year‑old man has been running a friendly six‑a‑side football team in Barnet for more than four decades - and still pulls on his goalkeepers gloves every Sunday.
Leo Gottesman has seen many players come and go at Powerleague Barnet, including his own son, yet remains a fixture between the posts every week.
Gottesman told the BBC: "I've been organising the games since 1981.
"I played football at school, naturally, although I wasn't a goalkeeper at the time. Then I stopped playing until I was 35 years of age but I have been playing six‑a‑side football ever since."
Following a heart attack 25 years ago, Gottesman's cardiologist advised him to give up the sport.
"I stopped for about two or three months - but I love the game so much, I just had to continue," he said.
Fellow player Rex Cooper said that despite his age, Gottesman remains a tough opponent.
"He's got so much experience, his positioning is incredible and so he's difficult to score past," he said.
"Leo is a very passionate and reliable person and he's a role model for all of us."
Cooper added that the group enjoys the "competitive spirit", but also the long‑built camaraderie.
Henry Thorpe‑Spinks has been playing on Sundays for the past 13 years, often along with his dad.
He said the standard was "pretty good, especially considering the ages.
"I don't know any other football game where they've got a goalkeeper who's not only that age but also has been playing for 40‑odd years and been running it."
As well as guarding the goal, Gottesman manages the team's admin, such as checking player numbers, making pitch bookings, collecting subscriptions and even washing the kits.
Thorpe‑Spinks added: "I think we take him for granted to be honest."
Gottesman said that the traits of a great goalkeeper includes being "quite flexible" and someone who "anticipates to a great extent".
