Which Premier League players were the most prolific at each age group when it comes to minutes?

Here, the PA news agency has analysed the data to show which players had accrued the most minutes in the division by a series of landmark ages.

Unsurprisingly, the results are dominated by Englishmen – but which overseas players broke into the top 10?

At 25 Barry was still plying his trade with Aston Villa, before a move to future champions Manchester City.

In fact, it is the midfield ever-present who leads the way for 30-year-olds (36,375 minutes) and 35-year-olds (49,951 minutes) too – he was playing for City at 30 and by 35 had joined Everton.

Rooney drops out of the top 10 list altogether by 35 meanwhile, with greats from Chelsea (Frank Lampard), Manchester United (Rio Ferdinand), Liverpool (Jamie Carragher) and Arsenal (Sol Campbell) making up the top five at that age.
