As you may already know, football is a profession that cannot be carried on until 60 years, as is the retirement age of many occupations.

At most, the average player can have a career span of between 10 to 15 years at the top before hanging his boots.

As good as any player may be, there comes a time when he has to retire, which is a very sad moment for most fans.
