About Zou Wenzhi
Born 1914. Zou Wenzhi is an association football player.
Zou Wenzhi (born 1914, date of death unknown) was a Chinese footballer who competed in the men's tournament at the 1948 Summer Olympics. He was very popular in the late 1940s, being regarded by many as the natural successor of Lee Wai Tong.
Career Born in 1914, Zou made his debut in the Hong Kong First Division in 1935, as a member of South China's B team. On 31 August 1957, he scored for Hong Kong in a 6–2 win over Cambodia, becoming, at the age of 42-43, the oldest international goalscorer in world football, overtaking England's Stanley Matthews, who had just set the record the previous year, in 1956, aged 41.
Despite being short and having weak shooting power, Zou played bravely and possessed good technique with both feet, being thus capable of playing left or right inside forward, and even as a center back.
