It Will Be Difficult To Let Go

I Find The Growing Intervention By The Football Authorities In Strictly Footballing Matters A Rather Worrying Trend.

It Will Be Difficult To Let Go But It Is Going To Happen Sooner Rather Than Later In My Case.

I Never Felt I Would Get To The Stage Where I Would To Have To Actively Think About Retiring From International Football As I Always Thought It Would Pass Me By.

I Never Felt I Would Be Part Of The International Scene For 50 Caps In My Wildest Dreams.

Looking Back I Find It Hard To Believe That I Could Forge A Career In Anything Other Than Football But I Didn't Do Too Badly In My Final Exams And There Were A Few Business-related Courses That Interested Me.
