Edgar Davids rolled back the years to score two phenomenal long-range strikes during the charity match between Laureus All Stars and Real Madrid Legends on Saturday.

The 42-year-old former midfielder and Holland international twice struck low lay-offs from outside the box into the far corner of the goal. 

Davids' brilliant brace perhaps comes as a surprise, as he was far from prolific when turning out for AC Milan, Juventus, Tottenham, Crystal Palace and Barnet during his playing career.
