Doncaster midfielder Francis Tierney has been forced to retire because of a recurring knee-injury.
Tierney is remembered as a hero
for Rovers after scoring the winning goal in the clubs conference playoffs in
May 2003.
The 29-year-old has only
managed one game this season and has had 3 failed knee-operations forcing him
to lay his career to rest.
Manager Dave Penney said:
"He will always be
a legend at Rovers for because he scored the goal that took us back into the
League."
Tierney started his footballing
career at Crewe and later joined Doncaster from Notts County in 2001.
