    The story...

    "Striker Michael Boulding has retired from professional football after pulling out of a move to Crewe.
    Boulding, 29, was released by Barnsley at the end of last season.

    He was ranked in the top 20 tennis players in Britain - and shared a room with Tim Henman when travelling on tour - before he switched sports in 1999.

    Crewe boss Dario Gradi explained: "He told me he was going to retire because he didn't want to sit on the bench all season - or drop down the divisions."

    Boulding's football career began at Mansfield, before spells with Grimsby (twice), Aston Villa and Barnsley - while he also served Sheffield United and Cardiff on loan.

    Gradi continued: "It's a shame, but I understand his decision and I think he runs a property business which he can concentrate on.

    "The lad also lives in Sheffield, so it's a long way to travel if he isn't playing regularly. He's a very nice lad, I have grown to like him and I would like to wish him all the best."

    A shame... I still think he's a decent player. Good luck to him.

    I must admit...

    His passion for the game was what stopped him going further. He has a hell of a lot of ability, hence transfers to Aston Villa and Sheffield United, but I agree about his mental side of things.

    Maybe it wasn't his lack of body strength that saw him shrugged off the ball time and time again, but a lack of effort.

    Will we see him at Wimbledon next year?! :pff
