A sad day for Irish football as Jonathan Walters announces his retirement from all football due to an Achilles injury.
-
54 caps and 14 goals for the 35 year old in a green jersey. He scored some vital goals in his time most notably in the EURO 2012 qualifier away to Estonia not to mention his brace against Bosnia & Herzegovina to secure a spot in EURO 2016 too. A loveable legend who played with pride and passion every time he took to the field.

Thanks for everything @jonwalters19 ! 🇮🇪☘️
