Romario of Brazil in currently still active playing professional soccer at the age of 40 and still going. He is the brazilian hero in 1994 world cup with bebeto. He is still chasing pele record in term of goals scored that's inspired him to keep going.

PS:
when someone said raymond van der gouw, i do some more research(i know he is very old, and hardly get a chance to play when he was in premier league). From the football database link I check player based on age and the result is:
2815 SHERINGHAM England West Ham Forward [C] 40
2816 ROMÁRIO Brazil Miami Forward [C] 40
2817 BENGOECHEA Uruguay No club affiliation Attacking Midfielder [C] 41
So Romario is the oldest from this database and Teddy Sheringham is second oldest. Bengoechea of Uruguay no longer has a club.

The oldest I could find was Raimond van der Gouw born on March 24,1963,(43 yrs) he is dutch and he is a goalkeeper and is currently playing in the dutch league. He also spent time in the english premier leaugue with manchester united and west ham.

Romario's a good bet.
But you can look up on players in the goalkeeper position. Usually, goalkeepers have the longest playing career.

Maldini is really one of the best defenders in the last 10-15 years but age is taking toll and his skills are declining but he's still retains his world-class rating.

I am guessing that is it Deutschland Goalkeeper, Oliver Kahn. He was born in June 1969.

Luis Figo is pretty old (older than Zidane at least).
