The San Siro outfit have had outstanding players play for them, but there have been a few who have displayed their talents despite being past their prime. Age was just a number for them and they have shown up for the Milan-based club in the toughest of times. Inter Milan have also played their part in signing experienced players and utilizing their talent to the fullest.
On that note, let's take a look at the five oldest goalscorers in Inter Milan history.
#5 Luis Figo (36years 3months 3days)
Luis Figo is one of the finest wingers to ever play in the game. The former Portuguese international played at some of the biggest clubs in world football, including Inter Milan.

He left Real Madrid to join Inter Milan on a free transfer in 2005. While it was not his most successful stint, his leadership skills were exemplary.
Figo would go on to score only 11 goals and provide 29 assists in 140 appearances at the Serie A club. One of those 11 strikes came in the 2008-09 title-winning season.
Figo retired after that campaign but will always have the satisfaction of winning the Serie A title before hanging up his boots.
#4 Franco Causio (36years 4months 18days)
Franco Causio was one of the most dynamic wingers of his time. The Italian ace played for several Serie A clubs during his prime and displayed his brilliance for the Nerazzurri too.

A creative right winger, Causio would cover the length of the pitch and then drive at opponents with his sensational close control. He would also work hard off the ball to win possession in threatening areas and then capitalize on the mistakes of the opponent.
The 1982 World Cup winner joined Inter Milan in 1984 from Udinese, but only stayed there for a year. However, in his one season at the club, the 35-year-old star played 42 times and scored three goals.
One of the greats of Italian football, the Milan-based club have fond memories of the dazzling winger.
