David Seaman

It went... So I was playing for Man City away at Wolves, and the ball's down the other end, and I'm in the goal, and I was like... And I'd never had this feeling before, and people had said to me, like...

you'll get a sign when you know it's time to retire.

And I was in goal and I just, in my head, I just went, what am I doing here?

Don't know why, but it just came in and I was like, oh,

That's my sign.

Was it scary or weird or?

It was weird, but I was, I would, do you know what?

I was ready.

I was ready to retire, you know, because I was, I had to be 40 then.

Yeah.

You know, so I knew it was coming, you know, and that's why I want to talk about that other shit because I made a certain save when I was 39.

But, you know, like being, so then that, that night I was, I actually rented a ground floor apartment right next door to Kevin because Kevin owned the apartment.

Yeah.

he had the two round floor ones so I went and seen him I said look just to let you know I'm going to retire in the summer you know so then he could make plans to get another goalkeeper in and he was like oh great you know well not great but he just said oh thanks a lot and

And then 10 days later, we played away at Portsmouth and I went down at, I think it was Yakubu.

And I went down at his feet and my knees stuck in the ground and it flipped me forward a little bit.

And as it did, his knee hit my shoulder.

Total accident.

And then I was like, oh, and I had to come off.

I couldn't carry on.
