Fernando Torres and Arjen Robben are both turning the ripe old age of 30. Solamentefutbol

We present to you the top ten ranking for players that share the same age, even though it would seem incredible that they do, even though their physical appearance would say otherwise.

It's obvious that in football there are those that relish the limelight and will take every opportunity to show off their new haircut -or in Ronaldo's case his 6-pack - and others who couldn't care less if they are snapped munching down a BigMac.

Nuri Sahin and Diego Costa: 26 years old

Even though they don't seem it, the Borussia Dortmund player Nuri and Chelsea's Diego Costa are actually only just coming out of their youth, even though Costa looks like an aged man.

Fernando Torres and Arjen Robben: 30 years old

It seems incredible that Torres is already 30, time flys eh. What's more supprising however is that Robben is from the same generation.

Danny Welbeck and Lukman Haruna: 24 years old

The Arsenal star and Lukman share the same year of birth, even though Lukman looks much older.

Alen Halilovic and Joseph Minala: 18 years old

Yes, even we were suprised that like rising Barca star is only 18 years old. We can't really say the same for Minala however...

Ashley Young and Hendry Thomas: 29 years old

We think that Ashley Young is doing rather well for himself at 29, Hendry Thomas on the other hand is a different story. You could see their relationship being father/son rather than two players that have the same age.

Jay Spearing and Sergio Agüero: 26 years old

It's well known that Agüero is only 26 years old and now a global superstar, however the same can't be said for the Bolton captain Jay Spearing.

Calum Chambers and Lazar Markovic: 20 years old

Another father/son moment. We think that Markovic's hair doesn't really help him out here but even so there is no denying that this guy is aging badly.

Wayne Rooney and Graziano Pelle: 29 years old

We are not sure if his hair transplant has made Rooney look any younger (even though he spent over 10,000 pounds on it).

Thomas Muller and Theo Walcott: 25 years old

Again hard to believe that Muller and Walcott were born on the same year. Thomas Muller looks closer to 35 than 25.

Ibrahim Afellay y Charlie Adam, 29 años

These two stoke midfielders have a rather stange relationship. Afellay could easily get away with being 19 and Charlie Adam 35.
