no just no

So, um.

Edwin's retiring, guys.

I'll just be drowning myself in tears and then in equal amounts of double-chocolate ice cream.

Let's have a comment spam. Just to sustain us 'til his next oh-so-precious game.

Saw it in the Dutch press.
Understandable, but still...

aka_centimetre2 January 27 2011, 16:05:21 UTC

Completely understandable. Magnificent career, lovely family waiting.

Still wish this had never come...

sophiamoon January 27 2011, 17:21:58 UTC

And I'm sure he won't disappear from the football world completely.

aka_centimetre2 January 27 2011, 18:10:41 UTC

He'd bloody well better come back and coach. *s*

sonnenbluemchen January 27 2011, 18:14:01 UTC

OH YESSS!!!
So many possibilities for possible coaching!!
(That small club around my corner *NEEDS* a new coach!!!)

sophiamoon January 27 2011, 18:22:33 UTC

Or else we'll find him... ;-)

aka_centimetre2 January 27 2011, 18:23:34 UTC

Well I hope so! I know he's done coaching qualifications, but damn, I'm just so worried he'll up and disappear for ages...

sonnenbluemchen January 27 2011, 18:24:45 UTC

Thank God: Someone is saying out loud whats in my head since this morning... :(

sophiamoon January 27 2011, 18:29:41 UTC

someone who loves football that much? He's totally fond of his family (as is obvious) but the man needs to work, and his work is football. Perhaps he'll start slowly, but doing nothing for more than a year?

sonnenbluemchen January 27 2011, 18:41:42 UTC

Well, sure. But... mh... We wont notice if he starts working with I dont know, fc smallville. (as a synonym for a small club or if he starts coaching some youth-related team in the middle of nowhere).

sophiamoon January 27 2011, 18:43:30 UTC

that's true, so we can only hope there's a curious journalist wondering what happened to one of the best (if not the best) goalies we ever had.

sonnenbluemchen January 27 2011, 18:48:19 UTC

*goes to sign in at the university to become a journalist*
or that he does something with a club thats a bit bigger / at least known.

sophiamoon January 27 2011, 18:53:06 UTC

Both would be ideal (looking forward to reading your articles about how he's doing as keeper's trainer at a big club)
;-)

sonnenbluemchen January 27 2011, 18:57:40 UTC

hehehehehe. Since I have already written and published articles, wouldnt be that hard for me ;).

To be serious again, for me I just would like to read some information from time to time. To hear what he's doing.

sophiamoon January 27 2011, 19:03:16 UTC

Yeah, I'm a firm believer in privacy and all, and if any ex-player wants to disappear into full anonymity I have no problem with that, but some news about how someone's doing is of course nice. (just as long as they're not being pestered by press or stalked or anything like that)
