Robin van Persie, clearly, has still got it.
The former Manchester United and Arsenal star was renowned for his brilliant attacking skills and wonder goals across a stellar career.
And those skills were put to the test again in a legends game on Sunday, with Van Persie named in a World XI against a Rangers line-up at Ibrox.
