Wayne Routledge Announces Retirement

[STID2017]

Thanks for the memories.
Hope he gets a job in the backroom
Very intelligent footballing brain

A fantastic servant who found his home here after being something of a nomad. So many amazing memories he has given us, all the best Wayne for whatever you plan to do next.

Bona fide club legend. Wish him nothing but the best.

Wonderful professional. A role model. So glad he settled here.
Will never forget Simon Jordan many years ago taking the piss out of him.....who's had the last laugh ?

 

[Badlands]

Hope he stays at the club.
If we can a place for Tate, LT10 and Leon Rutledge must be a shoe in.

He's just what we need now, if he were just a few years younger. Mind you, I still think he'd be better than Cullen/Lowe/Whittaker in the side, even with no legs!

Fantastic professional. Chosen by every manager consistently after the Villa game of 2012...left footed goal if I remember right . The only time he ever used it.

I hope he can contribute something. He knows all about movement off the ball.

Has he actually retired? I watched the video and if he mentioned the R word I missed it. Just says his time as a Swans player has ended.

In any case, an absolute bargain at £2m.

Maybe not, but can't see him uprooting to go and play somewhere else at his age surely ?

The likelihood is that he's packing it in what with the injury too, but if he is retiring full stop you'd expect him to say so. It's a peculiar choice of words. Maybe he fancies another year or two lower down the pyramid closer to home.

Good luck Wayne, hopefully there will be a role for you at the club in the future. Several players deserving a testimonial have left the club in recent years with very little recognition of their contribution. These days it’s not about the financial benefit of these matches, but more an opportunity for fans to show their appreciation for the players loyalty and commitment to the club that we all love. Good luck Wayne.

All good things must come to an end... All the best blue eyes.

Well and truly loved among our supporters who appreciate a genuine, give-it-all player.
Let's hope that he can continue to contribute to the Club in some way (cue some sarcastic "jobs for the boys" comment?)
