Grazie Capitano

I don't cry at weddings, I don't cry at sad movies. But if there's one time I do cry, it's when a footballer retires. Not only does it mean the end of the life they've known for 20-30 years, it means that we won't get to see them play anymore, either. To be fair, there are occasionally players for which I cheer their retirement announcement, but this weekend, I was all tears.
