Ribeiro

An injured Ribeiro was still 10 times the player of that donkey Tiendali.

As others have said, it is such a tough decision to retire - especially at an age when you should be in your prime as a footballer. He clearly felt or hoped he had something to offer the team and was desperate to play - particularly after missing so much of the previous season. Supporters vilify players for not showing commitment or bravery and yet when a player does exactly this and tries to play through the pain barrier he is criticised for doing that.
