It feels odd to be writing about Steve Zakuani “retiring” again. One, he didn’t actually come back. Two, he didn’t retire from his actual jobs - analyst, motivational speaker, philanthropist. But a phase of his life is clearly done, again. Yesterday, Steve announced that his playful idea of a comeback is over.
His speech to his teammates — because any Sounder will always be his teammate — is a signal that Zakuani is as good a motivational speaker as he was winger from 2009-11.
Imagine being Dominic Oduro. You read the love that poured out to Zakuani regarding his comeback.
