Rod has revealed he is planning on hanging up his football boots and retiring from playing the beautiful game.
Speaking on Magic FM’s Foxy In The Morning show, he said: ‘I’m playing my last game of football Sunday week, I’m retiring… I’m hanging up me boots. I’ve gotta think of my career, the knees aren’t getting any younger you know!
‘I’ve had a very good run at it, you must admit, 69. There’s something about Sunday morning football, it’s an animal on its own… I’m gonna miss it a lot.’
