The ankle he broke when on England duty has never healed properly and he has decided to call it a day instead of risking permananet disability if he carries on.
But any talk of him taking legal action against Shaun Wright-Philips, Chelsea, the FA or West Ham must be merely that - talk.
Nothing is to be gained by football failing to clean up its own mess. The player is due compensation but the court is not the place to do it. If he does go to law the floodgates of litigation will well and truly be open.
The FA must take the lead and co-ordinate his payout with help from the players' union, the PFA.
