Ditto…..when I retired from Marks & Spencer in the year of our Lord, er well, some time ago they gave me an Rs shirt with all the autographs of the staff. They waited 'til I looked disappointed then gave me some really nice gifts.

Re: My retirement gift from my team.
There isn't anyone on my team who is really into football, so this was really special.
I've also just realised they gave it to me yesterday - 55 years to the day since I first set foot inside Loftus Road.

Enjoy your retirement Zenith!
It's simple. Score more goals than they do.

Re: My retirement gift from my team.
I'm sure you'll do better than me…..I spent the months leading up to my retirement bragging about all the golfing, fishing, cycling and travelling I'd do when I retired.
In actuality I've spent most of the time in the pub !

It's early days ... but so, far I'm off to Germany in April with a couple of friends to watch some football (Vfl Bochum v FC Heidenheim), I'm going to Spain with my grandchildren in May and I'm off to Italy to see my cousin probably June time. A couple of theatre trips booked, including going to see 'Dear England'. Throw in an evening with the pub landlord (Al Murray) in February so, I'm pretty busy. That's before I think about sorting out the garden and laying a new patio.

Re: My retirement gift from my team.
A couple of weeks before I retired, they advertised my job in the situations vacant coloumns in the Evening Standard. It read something like:
General Dogsbody required. No education necessary but fawning deference and cringeing servility useful.

Now that's what I call...Retirement
Keep an open mind, but not so open that your brain falls out.
