Ryan Mason (Forced to retire)

[razman]

Sad story , especially given his age

 

[KentBlue]

I think he's made the right decision. Who knows, another bash on his bonce could be fatal. It's a shame, being that he's only in his mid-twenties and was presumably looking forward to a long and distinguished career in the game.

Good luck with whatever you choose to do, feller. Your health is a bloody site more important than a game of football.

 

[bluethrunthru]

sad story but the right decision ........... sounds like horrific damage done to his skull and far too risky to carry on. His employers and the league have a duty of care to the lad. I am sure he will get help from the PFA............. once Taylor has taken his cut

 

[Neville Kneville]

Yeah, it is a pity.

Maybe he will find a decent career in another aspect of the game.

 

[aguero93:20]

That's a shame, best of luck to the lad with whatever he decides to do next.

Gary Cahill ffs, his mis-timed challenges are ending careers now.

In all seriousness, this is really sad. I hope he can find something else that he's passionate about that can help fill the void left by football.

 

[Lancet Fluke]

Sad indeed. Hopefully he has earned enough in the few years he had in the game to take the pressure off and allow him live a comfortable life and find something else he wants to do. I've seen him interviewed in the past and sadly I suspect he is way too articulate to get a job as a regular pundit on British TV.

Gary Cahill: Career Ender.

 

[davek1808]

So sad it just show's how easy a footballers career can end.

Really sad new but the reality is that it could have been so much worse for him. I hope he gets all the support he needs in the future.
