"Now it is time for a different career turn and I am happy to say that I will return to London and join Sky Sports. I will share my observations and experience that I have gained together with you."
"I have had wonderful memories (mostly good!) and a great experience. I hope you have enjoyed watching as much as I enjoyed playing. We will meet on the other side..."
