Emmanuel Adebayor: Former Arsenal, Man City & Tottenham striker retires

Emmanuel Adebayor has announced his retirement with a video including his infamous goal for Manchester City against his former club Arsenal.

The 39-year-old Togolese striker shone in his three and a half years at the Gunners after joining from Monaco in 2006, scoring 62 goals and in 2008 was crowned African Footballer of The Year and named in the PFA Premier League Team of the Year.

However, in July 2009 he joined Manchester City for £25m - who had recently been bought by the Abu Dhabi United Group - with many Gunners feeling let down by the move.
