Blissful break: The pair chatted away as they relaxed in the crystal blue waters
‘When I started my career at Charlton Athletic all those years ago I could only have dreamt at that time just what was to follow over the next two decades. I feel incredibly honoured and proud to have enjoyed the career that I have and I’ve loved every moment of it.’
He concluded his statement by thanking his wife Carly and his four sons.
He said: ‘Finally, and most importantly, I would like to thank my family for all of their unconditional love and support throughout.
‘My wife Carly, and all of her family, and our sons Frankie, Murphy, Sonny and Rafa have been there for me through everything and I thank them from the bottom of my heart. Thank you too to my Mum and Dad, who I hope I’ve made proud. Without them all nothing would have been possible.’
