Be a shame if it was the end of his footballing career. He was unplayable when playing for barca and inter, the best striker in the last decade that I have seen. Remember following him on channel4 when he signed for inter and in the first season the defences he terrorised and goals he scored were amazing. Every time he received the ball you expected some brilliance.

Whilst he's still the all time top goal scorer in WC finals, injuries have robbed him of the chance of becoming an all time legend up there with the very best. He really was that good.
