After a lot of deliberation this summer I have decided to retire from football !
Our wonderful game has given me everything.

If you told me at 17 I'd play in World Cups , get to a champions league final , win the Fa cup and get 100 @premierleague goals I would have avoided you at all costs.
It's been an absolute dream come true
