Thierry Henry (32) announced his retirement from international football,
finishing with a World Cup, and a European Championship, while top scoring
for France in the WC in 1998, and finishing the all time record goal scorer
with 51 goals in 123 matches.

This may be harsh, but his international career ended in the worst possible
fashion, in fact, im prepared to say it ended in absolute disgrace in my
opinion. The lowest of lows, absolutely farcical!!!

While Englishman Emile Heskey (32) also announced his retirement, after
making 62 appearances he managed to score 7 goals, and will forever be
remembered as being part of the 5-1 massacre of Germany and the guy who
*everyone loves to play with*, which for me remains to be seen if they are
indeed talking about on the actual football field!!!

Craig Moore of Australia has retired from international football, and all
football after having a great career for both Australia and most notable for
Rangers in Scotland, a fine career mate, in particular soldiering on from
testicular cancer. Top effort!!!

Congrats on the fine careers of all the players!!!

Agree, but looking at the competition for the striker position there has
been no successful player during the 2000s, makes me wonder if England
actually have had a talented striker over the past 10 year, excluding
Shearer(2000), Owen(2000-08) and Rooney (2004-Present)

Name, Appearances, (Goals)

Emile Heskey 62 (7)

Alan Shearer 63 (30)
Michael Owen 89 (40)
Wayne Rooney 64 (25)

Francis Jeffers 1 (1)
Kevin Phillips 8 (0)
Bobby Zamora 0 (0) Did play U21
Teddy Sheringham 51 (11)
Robbie Fowler 26 (7)
Darius Vassell 22 (6)
Peter Crouch 40 (21)
Kevin Davies 0 (0) Did play U21
Brett Ormerod 0 (0)
James Beattie 5 (0)
Jermaine Defoe 43 (12)
Dion Dublin 4 (0)
David Nugent 1 (1)
Darren Bent 6 (0)
Carlton Cole 7 (0)
Gabriel Agbonlahor 3 (0)
Danny Cadamarteri 0 (0) Did play U21
Shola Ameobi 0 (0) Did play U21
Carl Cort 0 (0) Did play U21

Doesn't mean you have to stick two on the pitch. Hell even rolling the
dice on a young kid wouldn't have been a bad thing.
