Colin "Chopper" McIntosh announced his retirement from all indoor football this afternoon after yet another injury stuck him down in the friendly game on Monday. "Chopper has been a great servant of the club" said Zephyr Rovers Chairmen George Nash "we believe he began playing about the time football was invented and he joined Rovers very early in the club's history". Zephyr Manager Steve Hall said Chopper would be sadly missed as he had taken over from Chris Riddle and Charlie Smith as the player referees loved to watch. "He certainly somehow acquired a reputation with the referees" said Hall "although I'll remember the goals from oblique angles, particularly the one he somehow squeezed in from on the line near the corner". Hall said the club would be pleased to offer Chopper a role in the back room. "We'd love to see him in the back room cleaning boots or something but he might find that a bit of a come down after a glittering career" quipped Hall.
