Chris Coleman has been forced to retire from football because of the horific injuries he sustained in a car crash in January 2001.
Coleman's fight for fitness and to re-build his football career has been an inspiration for us all.
Coleman started his career at Manchester City, then creating a name for himself in his home town of Swansea. He then moved on to Crystal Palace and since then has played for Blackburn and joined Fulham in November 12997 for £2.1m.
During his international career he won 32 caps and scored 4 goals.
His retirement will be a massive blow to Wales and to Fulham, all we can do is wish Chris well in whatever he chooses to do from now on.
