Super eagles goalkeeper, Carl Ikeme announces his retirement!

Super eagles, Carl Ikeme, has confirmed his retirement from football. Quite sad, if you ask me; but the move became necessary following a long running case of leukaemia. The 32 year old made this assertion on Tuesday to his team mates at Wolverhampton Wanderers before a training session.

Ikeme has 10 caps for Nigeria and over 200 appearances for his team. He joined the club at the age of 14. You will recall he helped the super eagles to prosecute a couple of world cup qualifiers before he was dropped from the world cup squad due to leukaemia.
