Back home to Cork City 
Flying so high, trying to remember
How many cigarettes did I bring along?
When I get down I'll jump in a taxi cab
Driving through London town, to cry you a song

Might well be the case that he waits to see who the new manager is and has a chat with them before making a decision.
His wife posted a picture on instagram of a signed Reading jersey and the messages were happy retirement etc along with a caption saying people say he has more to give but when you know you know.

Looks like he's hanging up the boots
Ah, right - Had missed that. 
Would have thought myself that he'd have another year in hin alright

Can't fault his work ethic anytime he pulled on the green jersey.

Should be interesting to see what he ends up doing in a coaching career

Will he relinquish his jersey now or will it be his number in perpetuity?

Would love him in LOI but could definitely get a contract in MLS. Watched him in couple of games this season and still looked really mobile.


Cant see him uprooting anywhere outside of the South East of England his young family are very settled. He been doing his badges and a small bit of coaching at Reading from what I heard, he might look to a role similar to Whelan at Bristol of player/coach.

Around the 2nd minute mark ? 

Nah around the same minute Neuer was scooping the ball out of his own net in lansdowne 2015
