"NOW IS THE RIGHT TIME TO FINISH MY CAREER" DAVID BECKHAM TO RETIRE FROM FOOTBALL.

After a very successful 2-decade career, David Beckham has announced his decision to retire from football at end of season.

Within the space of 20 years, the 38 year-old Chinese football ambassador played for five clubs namely; Manchester United, Real Madrid, LA Galaxy, AC Milan and PSG.

"I'm thankful to PSG for giving me the opportunity to continue but I feel now is the right time to finish my career, playing at the highest level."

The PSG midfielder continued, "To this day, one of my proudest achievements is captaining my country. I knew every time I wore the Three Lions shirt, I was not only following in a long line of great players, I was also representing every fan that cared passionately about their country.

Beckham who has lifted 19 trophies including 10 league titles stated, "Nothing will ever completely replace playing the game I love. However, I feel like I'm starting a new adventure and I'm genuinely excited about what lies ahead.

I'm fortunate to have been given many opportunities throughout my career and now I feel it's my time to give back.

"I wouldn't have achieved what I have done today without my family. I'm grateful for my parents' sacrifice, which made me realise my dreams. I owe everything to Victoria and the kids, who have given me the inspiration and support to play at the highest level for such a long period."

DRUG TRAFFICKING: KING SUNNY ADE'S EX-GUITARIST GETS 3 YEARS SENTENCE

Veteran musician, King Sunny Ade's ex-guitarist, Fatoke Abiodun, who was arrested by operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) on January 1, 2013 at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport (MMIA) after found with two parcels of cocaine weighing 1.575kg on his way to Italy has been sentenced to 3 years imprisonment.

He was sentenced by The Federal High Court in Lagos, yesterday after appealing and pleading guilty to one count charge of unlawful exportation of 1.575kg of cocaine.

On how he got into the mess, 62-year old Abiodun claimed he was unceremoniously retired after playing for King Sunny Ade for 30 years. He had to do something to pull though poverty and feed his large family (3 wives and 12 children).

"I live in Ibadan with my family. I was invited to Lagos where I was given 50,000 naira and they promised that every arrangement will be ready for me to travel soon. They promised to pay me one million naira. If not for my condition, I would have turned down the offer but it was my last hope to be free from financial difficulty.

I was given the bag and my ticket but at the airport NDLEA detected the drug. Since then, I have been in deep pain. I feel bad because I have no one to help me"

He regretted.

First it was Sir Alex Ferguson, now another key person is leaving the club. The Manchester United defender has announced his retirement from international football. This was confirmed by the FA.

The defender who has played two World Cups and has 81 caps stated ''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 feel it is right for me to stand aside and let the younger players come through, which allows me to concentrate 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 you to all the fans, managers, coaching staff and players that I have worked alongside – the journey has been incredible '

"I just been in an accident in Nashville. I was crossing an intersection,going for a walk, a car turning didn't see me and boom!! Sent me flying. Thank God I landed on my padded butt. The only thing that got crushed was my water bottle.

The driver wore tiny frames that f'ed up her peripherals. Told her she need jumbo glasses like mine. I'm well just a little wooz.

I feel a little woozy. But everything's fine. Got a ride in a police car and let the driver off with stern warning.

Was in shock for a minute. Paramedics checked my blood pressure. Everything's fine. Thank God I'm alive today. Hope you are well."
