Carl Ikeme Announces His Retirement From Football by Amagite(m): 12:11pm On Jul 27, 2018 |
Super Eagles goalkeeper, Carl Ikeme, has confirmed his retirement from football. The 32-year-old announced the news to his Wolverhampton Wanderers teammates, before a training session at Compton on Tuesday morning. Ikeme took the decision, after consulting with medical experts, following his 12-month battle with acute leukaemia. Last month, Ikeme announced on Twitter, that he was in complete remission from the disease, after “a tough year and intense chemotherapy”. The goalkeeper has 10 caps for Nigeria and made 274 career appearances in all competitions, with over 200 of them coming for Wolves. "After advice from the doctors I have taken the decision to retire. It’s not a sad day for me but one to look back with fondness and joy for being able to live my dream . I just want to thank everyone at @wolves for there support over the years. We have rode the good and bad times together , an I’m great-full to of been apart of the clubs history. I’m looking forward to catching up with everyone again soon and being back around the club and city !! Thank You!!! �◼️❤️" he wrote on his Instagram page. http://www.amagitesblog.com/2018/07/breaking-super-eagles-goalkeeper-carl-ikeme-announces-retirement-from-football.html 11 Likes 2 Shares

My prayer for you as you retire, because we love you: Let us pray: may the strength of God pilot you the power of God uphold you the wisdom of God guide you. May the eye of God look before you the ear of God hear you the word of God speak for you May the hand of God protect you the way of God lie before you the shield of God defend you the host of God save you May Christ shield you today. Christ with you, Christ before you Christ behind you Christ in you, Christ beneath you Christ above you, Christ on your right, Christ on your left, Christ when you lie down, Christ when you sit, Christ when you stand, Christ in the heart of everyone who thinks of you, Christ in the mouth of everyone who speaks of you, Christ in every eye that sees you, Christ in every ear that hears you.

He remains a winner by defeating cancer. Good thing he listened to his doctors, he can always be part of football in other ways. |
