"I'm already thinking in terms of, when my retirement comes, will I be leaving any friend who needs me?"

His retirement should have come as no surprise really.

His own retirement came in 1995, after having been diagnosed with cancer.

His retirement from professional football finally came in 2008.

Some had been finding work a strain and early retirement came as a relief.

His retirement came in 1951 at the age of 27.

For his wife, however, retirement cannot come soon enough.

But he did not say if that retirement would come immediately or at the end of the season.

Then comes retirement - more time but less money.
