Rogério Ceni announced his retirement with the end of the year. The 41 year old veteran wants to call it a day after 21 years loyal service to FC São Paulo where he managed to score a total of 114 goals in 1136 matches - as a *goalkeeper*. The living legend will be sorely missed on the pitch! :bow:

One of the most underrated goalkeepers of his generation. Best of luck Rogerio.

Indeed he will.

In fact he hasn't aged one bit since the 50s and 60s when he starred in all these sandals and swords movies

Bastia goalkeeper Mickael Landreau announces retirement.

Fabian Boll of St.Pauli will retire from football now. He was the only player in the German Bundesliga (2nd BL, that is) who was still working part time in a proper dayjob (he's a police officer). Fabian Boll will be forever remembered as a true St.Pauli legend. :bow:

Cole retires from the NT.

I thought he might had he not been picked for the World Cup. I suppose it was between the future and experience and Hodgson picked Shaw. Understandable decision, but I would have chosen Cole.

He was very much an under-appreciated player for England. Without question our most reliable and consistent performer in the last decade.

by Kick Mon May 12, 2014 3:33 am

Yeah, Surprise they didn't pick him tbh.

I know I would have.

Right decision , this year he showed to be definitely finished. But at least he was on time to become the first player in Premier League history to score for seven different clubs , when he scored against Norwich this year.

This thread needed a major bump with so many legends hanging em up this season, among them Tarzan Puyol!!!! So during the WC let's pay homage as more names are sure to come.
