“He’s now a Legend” Gernot Rohr, Fans react to John Mikel Obi’s retirement

The former Chelsea midfielder on Thursday announced his retirement from international football after helping Nigeria to third place at the Africa Cup of Nations.

John Mikel Obi has played his last game for the Super Eagles of Nigeria as the 32-year-old brings the curtain down on a career that spanned well over a decade.

Praise have continued to flow in the direction of the former Middlesbrough’s midfield general, who led his country to her third continental title in 2013.
