I think the whole peak age thing is entirely subjective, everyone peaks at different times regardless of what they do. Players who's game relies on a sharp turn of pace are likely to peak younger, whereas players in the midfield engine room or central defenders often peak later up and around 30 where experience & body strength matter more. And in these times of better training methods & nutrition etc players can stay pretty much at the top of their game into their mid 30's. I'm not saying we want a whole team of 30-somethings, but having a few of them in the side is no problem as far as I'm concerned.
