Stewart Downing retired today apparently. Never liked or rated him. Got player of the year purely from getting on the back post for a much better players (Albrighton) crosses and buggered off the first chance he got. Gutless player as well. Not in a physical sense as I don't particularly expect wingers and attacking players to be flying into tackles but I don't think I ever saw him take a man on in his time at Villa. Always went back or sideways instead of driving at the defence. Hope he enjoys his retirement all the same, how he got over 30 England caps is beyond me though.
