SOFIA (Reuters) - Slavia Sofia goalkeeper Georgi Petkov became the oldest player to appear in the Bulgarian top flight on Sunday and the 42-year-old marked the occasion with a man-of-the-match performance in the goalless draw against champions Ludogorets.

"I don't pay attention to these things," said Petkov, who secured his place in the record books on Sunday at the age of 42 years, five months and 12 days.
