Rio Ferdinand Announced His Retirement on International Football

Rio Ferdinand

This was what he said, "After a great deal of thought, i have decided the time is right for me to retire from international football.

"At the age of 34 i fell  it is right for me to stand aside and let the younger players come through, which allows me to concetrate on my club career.

"The team looks in great shape and there is an influx of young, talented players coming through the ranks which bodes well for the future.

"I regard it as a great honour and a privilege to have represented my country at every level from U17s upwards.

"I have always been very proud to play for England. I would like to wish Roy and the team all the best for future tournaments. 

"A big thank to you all the fans, managers, couching staff and players that i have worked alongside-the journey has  been incredible!"

Have anything to say?
