Sad neews reaches us at HQ. Five years to the day since he heroically led Italy to world cup glory, Fabio Cannavaro has announced he is retiring due to a serious knee injury. Sigh, there goes another one of our favourite veterans. He's a player I've grown up watching and I sincerely hope he will go into management as he still has so much he can offer to the game. His towering performances at the 2006 world cup were one of my highlights of the entire tournament and seeing him on the verge of tears after Italy's elimination at last year's World Cup was absolutley shattering but also a testament to how much he cares and what a true captain he is. So Sports Wall would like to say a massive thank you to Fabio for all the wonderful years of wonderful football. We'll miss you Fabio!
