A former Liverpool striker has officially confirmed his retirement this week at the age of 37. Now another former Liverpool name has decided the time is right to say goodbye to the professional game.

Hungarian forward Krisztian Nemeth, a one-time bright hope in Liverpool’s academy and a 37‑cap international, has officially confirmed he will retire at the end of the current season. “I could wait for years to come on from the substitutes’ bench, but now is the time to end my career.

Obviously, it’s never good when it’s over, but I’m more happy to have spent these twenty years on the football field,” he explained. Nemeth first emerged at MTK and the Sándor Károly Academy before Liverpool moved to bring him into their youth ranks, where he was highly regarded but never quite able to crack the first team at Anfield.
