As cliched as it may sound it really is the end of an era, the guy is a legend even if you aren't a big fan of football.
Every bugger is retiring!!
I know absolutely nothing about football and even I recognize his name and know he's a football player.

Thats enough knowledge to get you a managers gig at most League One sides.
I've heard the good stories about him, but never really watched the sport. Hope he has a good retirement.
I was sure he announced this late last year, either way hope he has a giggle in his retirement.

Only time he'll ever be wearing an England shirt again.

Goodnight sweet prince

I'm really surprised he hasn't got a knighthood yet. He is probably the worlds most known footballer.

Do you seriously think she looks bad there?
That man is currently rich as fuck.

He's so bad, why is he so famous
Now that he'll be retired and hanging around the house all day getting in her way, I bet his wife will be unhappy and find it hard to even smile once in a while.

Pretty hard to play football in what appears to be David Tennants outfit.

He was a good footballer for a few years with united, then he did an underpants campaign and he's suddenly legendary and culturally significant.
Even though I'm not much of a football fan this is a surreal thing to see. What's annoying is that he will probably continue to be famous and will be in the news.
