"I don't know why you hate me so" - Azmeer Yusof begs forgiveness in retirement statement

Just months after parting ways with Kedah, defender Azmeer Yusof on Monday announced that he has retired from playing professionally altogether, at only 30-years of age.

Writing on his Facebook account, the left back apologised for the decision, in a statement that hints at the religious direction of his post-football career.

"In the name of Allah, I, Azmeer Yusof am announcing my retirement from professional football. I want to thank my parents, family, friends and all Malaysian fans who have been supporting me.
