Tony Craig retires from football at 40 after a career spanning 23 years and 825 appearances due to a leg injury.
This will be my last season. I have to listen to my body, and it's already asking me. When I was a kid, I always dreamed of playing at the club, and I'm here now - lucky and able to play with my club in the top division.
After many intense and emotional years in professional football, I have made a difficult decision to retire this summer. Football has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember.
