‘It won’t be long-winded. You only get one super emotional retirement essay and I used mine up last year.
‘Thank you to every single one of you for supporting me – my family, my friends, my team-mates, my competitors. I could go on forever – there’s too many.
‘Thank you for allowing me to live my absolute dream, I wouldn’t change a thing. Love you all.’
