Born in 1976, Petrov has represented his country 19 times and made his Bulgaria debut 20 years ago.

He couldn’t mark the occasion with a clean sheet as a late Nikolay Dimitrov penalty salvaged a point for Bulgaria in the 1-1 Nations League draw.

The result leaves his side tied on 10 points with Norway at the top of their group, five ahead of Cyprus.

Speaking after his appearance, Petkov remained modest in his interview.

That title falls to Giorgos Koudas who played for Greece at the age of 48 in 1995.

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.

Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”

Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”

Kim says: “I am no super-thin Hollywood actress. I am built for men who like women to look like women.”
