Hangzhou grandad proving age is no obstacle to prowess on pitch

HANGZHOU - Friends call him "Maradona" and Chinese media have dubbed him "Soccer Nut" - Zhao Chongshan is 63 but he still plays soccer three times a week and has no plan to hang up his boots.

Zhao looks like any other doting grandfather with his gentle manner and warm smile, but he is something of a celebrity in China's eastern province of Zhejiang because of his enduring fitness and undying love for soccer.
