Former Vancouver Whitecaps defender Pa-Modou Kah has announced his retirement, posting a heartfelt letter on the Whitecaps website. The majority of the letter is written to his daughter, Nahla, and it really is heart-warming to read.
For example:
You never know when the day will come. How old you will be or if you are ready. I can tell you, you are never ready to retire from football. But because of you, my daughter, I can look back with a feeling of fulfilment and look forward to a new chapter. You are my greatest accomplishment and my biggest dream was to walk on the pitch with you.
