The English Premier League is arguably the most demanding soccer division in Europe, both physically and mentally. Every season, clubs acquire players at the peak of their powers, boosting the competitive quotient of the division. And with young blood coming in, it gets harder and harder for veterans to keep their place. Forwards, especially, find it difficult to retain their importance, as they start to lose their sharpness and agility after crossing the dreaded 30-year threshold.
Of course, there are exceptions — players who keep on delivering the goods beyond their prime and under pressure from individuals at the peak of their powers. In today’s list, we will pay homage to those heroes, celebrating the top five players who have scored the most Premier League goals after turning 30. Let’s begin!

Sheringham won three consecutive Premier League titles (1998-99, 1999-00, 2000-01) during his four-year stay at Manchester United.
