No, not at all if you are a good player even the great Arsenal forward Ian Wright became a pro only in the age of 26 and went to set a record of the most number of goals scored by an Arsenal player which was broken by Thierry Henry recently. By the way dude WISH YOU ALL THE BEST.

No way! Not at all. Ian Wright is a perfect example of staking a claim in the big time, late on in his career. Lately, there has also been DJ Campbell, who has made his name with Yeading & Brentford before joining Birmingham City. Also Geoff Horsfield was a bricklayer for a couple of years before he made it big. Was quite a prolific goalscorer a few years ago. You have every chance at 20 years of age! Go for it!

No its not
Ive seen many players who seem great at a younger age but burn themselves out a few years later they get in a rut unable to change their style and adapt to different types of play
Remember its you and you alone that can make or break your career.
Don't loose your enthusiasm for the game
always be willing to adapt your style and listen to your coaches
its not all about scoring goals
good positioning, drawing defenders, movement are more likely to get you spotted than a glory goal
and of course using your brain as well as your feet.
Fitness is also important especially as you get older
so good luck and keep at it

Ian Wright turned professional at the age of 26, so no.

No - Lee Trundle started his career at the age of 22, just an example off the top of my head.
Many good players have started late- go for it.

Ian Wright and Matt Elliot of Leicester (the one who got rinsed by Bergkamp ) Who proves you can still get scouted even if your not very good ;o)

No! Ian Wright was in his 20s when he was discovered by Crystal Palace. He was playing on Hackney marshes.

Ian Wright was a lot older when he turned proffesional. Good luck with it, but don't spend the money yet, it'll need some hard work!
