An unbelievable milestone reached by Albert Adomah this weekend. pic.twitter.com/i0rlqEFSnv PFA (@PFA) December 15, 2025The 38-year-old has represented several clubs across the two divisions of English football, including Middlesborough and Aston Villa.Meanwhile, his manager at Walsall, Mat Sadler hailed the veteran forward for his role at the club.Happy birthday to him, hes the youngest 38-year-old I know, he said.Hes an amazing person and he had that chance where he flashed it across to Courtney. Thats the moments that were in the game, we just didnt quite have that cutting edge at the final moment and sometimes that is understandable with the amount of games weve had recently. For now, we have to rest up, look after the lads for a few days and then go again in what has the makings of a very good game this Saturday now.
