Hearing that Joe Hart has announced his retirement got me thinking, which Town players have ‘hung up their boots’ while playing for Town? Simon Milton springs instantly to mind, but apart from Phil Parkes (whose Ipswich ‘career’ was very much a postscript) I can’t think of any. I mean at the natural the end of a long career, not horribly unfortunate cases like Nydam. (Supple’s case is a very unusual one of course.) But there must be others, even if the lure of pulling on the blue & white stripes of Colchester has proven too strong for many. | |
