That last injury he got still haunts me. He was just slated to make a return to the National Team, he looked like he was recovering and would have the chance to end his career on a positive note. And then just fizzled out. I understand he wanted to prove everyone wrong and show that he refuses to let his knee decide his fate from the season before, but I kind of wish he had retired after the title winning season. He deserved to go out with a bang, not a whimper.

I still miss watching him play. One of the most unique players ever, always a showman and still an incredible physical specimen that did things in his late 30s people half his age would struggle with.
