Check out “After leaving Darlington, David Wheater declared his retirement from football at the age of 36.” The center back, who has played for both Bolton and Middlesbrough, has said that taking a shower with David Beckham will go down as one of his career high points.

He was an inactive replacement in both of England’s games. Wheater wrote: “Think the time has come to hang up the boots in an Instagram post.

“I’d like to express my gratitude to Middlesbrough, Bolton, Darlington, and England for having me; I enjoyed playing for you very much. However, I won’t regale you with too many emotions; I’ll just give you the truth.

Every time I play football with my seven-year-old, I almost pull my thigh, and my body suffers. I also worry that if I go faster than jogging pace, my hamstring might pop.

“I pick up the kids’ toys off the floor and my back hurts, I have love handles and my tummy is growing, I’d rather have a great Chinese meal or a fry up than go to training, and a couple drinks take five days to get over,” the speaker said.

It’s been a wild trip, though; I’ve earned caps for England at every level and have made a few substitute appearances for the senior team.

As you may know, I’ve also had a shower with David Beckham and John Terry is one of my Instagram followers, so I’m delighted with my professional life.
