Dean Ashton Retired. Shame, 26 year old and when fit always impressed could have been a good player and a much better option as a big man upfront for England over Cole and Heskey. http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11095_5764036,00.html
If he'd kept injury free I could have seen him become the new Shearer, unfortunately always blighted by one injury or another!
shame that, thought with medical advances these days that would of been able to fix him. deffo had the potential to be a top striker. be interesting to see if he sues shaun wright-phillips
He won't get a penny but i bet he has a nice insurance policy. West Ham are trying to sue the FA but will get fuck all as he played after the SWP accident so it's not like that injury caused him to never play again.
he's a old fashioned center forward! i liked him. Dont think he was world class but with him being so young you could'nt tell. I think playes like that peak when they hit 30's. Strange comment but i think the experience of using body/strength comes later in players like that. r.i.p (retire in peace)
