We understand the realities of the sports world. Take Shaq for example, he was traded from here and went on to several other teams after that. But once he was retired, he asked us to retire his jersey. He wanted to be remembered as a Laker.

It's going to be great. A lot of the players are coming. I wasn't here when they put (Jackson) up in the rafters. But to have him here as my number goes up, it brings back a lot of great memories.
I respect what Gary Neville achieved as a player. He was brilliant at Manchester United and hats off to him.
My son goes around shooting the basketball saying, 'Isaiah Thomas!'
I just have a lot of respect for Terry and his family. He played without a mask, and his life was tragically ended. And it just means a lot to me to be up there with him and the other greats that have played that long.
I'm aware how special an achievement 100 caps is because of the players that have come before me and the amount they've given to English cricket.
I would like to ask, Should not a player who has played 12 to 13 years for his country deserves a farewell match?
