The impending Billy Sharp retirement got me thinking. How many players of late have we had spend their final pro season with us?

Copps obviously a case in itself but…

Sharp
Wood
Tomlin
Lavery

Off the top of my head.

Yes, I think you need to define "of late" as there's probably alot who've had to pack in through injury etc.

I saw Habib Beye had been named the new Marseille manager today. He didn't play for anyone after leaving us.

Crazy that we gave him a relatively long term contract!

Fingers crossed his attitude to attending training has firmed up a bit since then.

Can't count Big Nev. He played in the Premier League after leaving us. Played for Bradford in 2000.

John Ryan - played his whole professional career with us before retiring.

Kevin Hurlock. Another like Steve Brooker who was a class player who's injuries cost their retirement.

Can remember him doing his knee was class though
