Ha llegado el momento de colgar las botas, no por gusto. Nunca había pensado como sería colgar las botas definitivamente, y sin quererlo lo he tenido que hacer. “No podrás volver a jugar a fútbol”.. palabras muy duras, pero como les dije a mi equipo, con constancia y esfuerzo, cambiaré esas palabras. Orgulloso de pertenecer a este gran equipo de personas, gracias por este gesto. Agradecer a todos los compañeros de vestuario de los 5 clubs donde he estado, a los entrenadores y diferentes cuerpos técnicos. @_udmahon @cce_sant_lluis #CDMenorca @adc_brunete @veterans.de.catalunya •. #udmahon #friends #football #futbol #menorca #gracies #gracias

Posting on Instagram, he said (translated): “The time has come to hang the boots, not for pleasure.
I had never thought what it would be like to hang my boots definitively, and unwittingly I had to do it. ‘You will not be able to play football again’ .. very hard words, but as I told my team, with perseverance and effort, I will change those words.

“Proud to belong to this great team of people, thanks for this gesture. To thank all the (officials) of the 5 clubs where I have been, the coaches and different technical bodies.”
