Its what takes a great club man and makes him a club legend. Like others have mentioned most would have rocked up week in week out and just checked in for the cheque. To actually stand up and call it, especially with so much money left on the table, its a huge and selfless call. Well done to him, not often you get to pull your own curtain on your career like this and atleast he left as a decent player. Opens the door for us and gives us ample cap space for 2023 and beyond which is huge considering we are probably looking for 1-2 spine players and a couple of quality middle forwards.
He had approached Gus during the year to take a paycut aswell. So just shows he puts the club before himself. If you had 17 players like that you would win a lot more then you lose. Compare that to Napa, Trex etc who were woeful but happily cashed their millions for subpar performances.
