- Spain and Man City Legend David Silva Retires Age 37.
David Silva have confirmed his retirement from football after 19 years as a senior professional following an injury in pre-season.
Silva ruptured his anterior cruciate ligament earlier this month and has decided to end his playing days as result.

But it was in English football where the talented midfielder really made his mark on the club game.
Silva was one of the original superstars at Manchester City and would go on to represent the Citizens for 10 years, winning 11 major honours.
Silva was also a major part of Spain’s success during their golden period, as he helped La Roja lift the European Championships in 2008 and 2012 and the World Cup in 2010.
Silva ended his playing days at Real Sociedad last season.
In a video on his social channels he said it was “time to say goodbye to the game I have dedicated my life to.”
