The legends are still hanging their boots. We hope there would be no more announcements before the year runs out.

37-year-old Arsenal legend, Henry Thierry has called time on his 20-year international career. Thierry who was part of the French World Cup and European Championship-winning squads of 1998 and 2000 made his announcement via his Facebook page.

“After 20 years in the game I have decided to retire from professional football. It has been an incredible journey and I would like to thank all the fans, team mates and individuals involved with AS Monaco, Juventus, Arsenal FC,FC Barcelona, the New York Red Bulls and of course the French National Team that have made my time in the game so special.”
