He has stated his intention to retire at the end of the season age 33. He light up the stadium at times and was always exciting to watch, one of the games characters.
Had some horrific injuries as well the poor sod. Still, he's got a Champions League winners medal from possibly the greatest CL final ever (Terry says begrudgingly). Also did his level best to stop City winning their first PL title, shame the defenders couldn't play with his passion to the final whistle.
He was fantastic in the first half of the season here and got summit like 9 goals. Then iirc correctly he was messed about it re our intentions to sign him and his head went a bit and he hardly scored after that. We opted to spend big on Bent that summer, hindsight says that may have been a mistake.
