    Thats it, a number of factors determine someone retiring, if they're always injured fair enough but if you have a regular player that is doing well and then stated as retired with no chance of changing their mind that sux!

    Some players even enjoy their best footballing years into their 30s, I would say a very good example of this is Lower League but very effective striker Jamie Cureton 37 still scoring goals for Exeter City, Hessenthaler himself was good in his 30s at Gillingham, Robbie Savage, Dennis Bergkamp, Tony Adams and Martin Keown good examples for the Premier League.

    You tend to find some players willing to move countries or drop divisions just to ensure they can play for a few more years, MLS... David Beckham and also The King, Thierry Henry.
