Jack Wilshere retires from football
Former Gunners midfielder Jack Wilshere has retired from football.
The 30-year-old played 197 times for the club between 2008 and 2016, scoring 14 times but has now called time on a career that saw him become a star for club and country and represent the club with distinction.
Speaking on Twitter today, he said: "Today I am announcing my retirement from playing professional football.
"It has been an unbelievable journey filled with so many incredible moments and I feel privileged to have experienced all that I did during my career. From being the little boy kicking a ball around in the garden to captaining my beloved Arsenal and playing for my country at a World Cup. I have lived my dream.”
