What a shame.

The Arsenal and Olympiakos goals will long live in the memory. YNWA Neil.

[Boca]

The goals against Arsenal and Olympiakos are the two that stand out.

 

Isn't that right Nerik

Sad for the guy.

[Benzo-13]

Gutted for him.

That Arsenal goal was crazy. Was sat right off the Kop and nearly fell over the balcony.

[Swipe]

Rubbish news. Always remember him being interviewed when it was clear he was gonna be sold by us. He said "I just want to find my level". Refreshingly honest and level-headed I always thought.

 

He'll always have the goal v Arsenal and the set up for Gerrard against Olympiakos. Both at the Kop end too.

and the EC RU medal they nicked from the Milan dressing rooms

[muleskinner]

Thought he had packed in years back

[carrafan]

Gutted. He's a good lad.

[richwilks]

I thought he was dead when I saw the post so in a strange way I'm pleased he's only retired.

[Tobes Rafa]

I never understand how some players choose to retire with an injury when others just happen to be injured year after year and continue to pick up a wage *cough* Hargreaves *cough*

yep - was when i had my season ticket on the front row of the paddock - was great for going nuts at moments like that

It's brilliant to see Nunez celebrating with him. Halcyon days.

 

He's had a career we'd all be proud of, hope he goes on to good things like.

I remember Halcyon days, but not this 'Nunez' you speak of

I want nights like that again. People who claim top four isn't a target are off their barnets.

 

Nunez = Downing.

He's got some memories though. That Arsenal goal is right out of a comic.

[AE]

I watched that game in a pub and I remember thinking "If this was Hollywood Mellor would score now" and then he did!

[pricey]

Sad news, but thanks for Arsenal & Olympiakos. From his tweets it's clear he still loves this club.
