...say it ain't so!Thrice before I have felt such a chill down my spine: firstly, upon finding out via Teletext that Cantona was taking early retirement; secondly, when the BBC reported that Peter Schmeichel, upon winning the European Cup, had decided he'd achieved everything and so was moving to Portugal; and thirdly, when the inevitable became reality, and the greatest substitute known to man, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, was finally forced by his multiple injuries to call it a day.
No doubt, after what will probably be over 800 appearances, Ryan is perfectly entitled to slow down. Despite only playing every other game over the last couple of seasons, he still shocks and surprises with his pace and capacity for assists and goals (re: Wigan last season - who better to score the one to win the league?) But all good things must come to an end...
