Manchester United full-back Gary Neville retired from football with immediate effect on Wednesday.
The former England international has not played since the New Year's Day victory over West Bromwich Albion, when he should have been sent off for a professional foul.
That was his 602nd appearance for United, and he also won 85 England caps.
"I have been a Manchester United fan all my life and fulfilled every dream I've ever had," he said.
"Obviously I am disappointed that my playing days are at an end, however it comes to us all, and it's knowing when that time is and for me that time is now.
"I have played in the most incredible football teams, playing with some of the best players in the world as well as against them and I have been lucky to be a part of the team's achievements and the club's great success."
