… then again, we’ve never seen you play.

There’s a good chance that Thomas Russell is in better shape than you or your loved ones, though.

JOE reader John Halpin sent in this wonderful clip of the 85-year-old, originally from Scotland, but living in Co Kerry, Ireland for the last 40 years, owning the table tennis… eh, table.

John explained: “I know Thomas from the gym that I work in, he still comes in every morning. He is an inspiration to us all.”

Indeed. Take a look at the video below because it really is quite something.
