Ex-France defender Gallas retires at 37
Print Edition
FORMER France defender William Gallas has announced his retirement, bringing to an end a decorated 19-year professional career, he said yesterday.
“You tell yourself you can always continue but I think that today I can’t,” the center back told TV channel L’Equipe 21.
The 37-year-old Gallas started at French club Caen in 1995 before moving to Chelsea in 2001, and went on to have stints at both Arsenal and its north London rival Tottenham Hotspur.
Gallas won 84 caps for France and scored five goals, including the controversial strike in Les Bleus’s 2-1 playoff win over Ireland that earned the side a 2010 World Cup berth. Gallas poked the home from close range after being set up by Thiery Henry, who had clearly handled the ball to prevent it from going out of play. He also played the 2006 World Cup final which France lost on penalties to Italy.
