Tons of kids retire from football early on to play secondary sports like Basketball, Athletics or Hockey in Europe. Because if you suck at sports you'll die in a football club whereas other sports communities are more lenient toward failure.

I was at the game at White Hart Lane when Fabrice Muamba had his cardiac arrest. There were so many things that occured that day that helped save Muamba's life: (1) There was a specialist cardiologist there attending the game as a (spurs) fan, who managed to convince the stewards to let him onto the pitch. (2) This specialist then gave Muamba the on-field care needed to get him into a state that transporting him would be feasible. (3) The medics had initially wanted to transfer Muamba to the closest hospital to White Hart Lane, which is North Middx. Hosptial (1 mile away). The specialist who ran onto the field happened to know that the fascilities at NMH wouldn't be able to accomodate Muamba, and so demanded they take him to London Chest Hospital in Bethnal Green, 6 miles away (i.e., an extra 20 mins away, in London traffic/roads). This might extra journey time might seem crazy, but having the facilities available at LCH meant they could save Muamba's life. In short, what occured that day was terrible to witness, but a testament to the community of Football and its fans: A fan for the opposing team ran onto the pitch and saved the life of an opposing player. Tottenham fans will always be kind to Muamba, and it is such a shame such a good player had to retire so young.

5:48 - The player you're looking for is Dener. The 22 year old Brazilian forward was considered one of the greatest wonderkids of the early 90's and was probably going to be part of the Brazilian National squad on the 1994 World Cup. He played for Portuguesa, Grêmio and Vasco da Gama in Brazil. Dener was a devilish dribbler, a provocative player, a typical Brazilian nº 10. He wouldn't score many goals, but would mesmerize everyone with his incredible driblling skills. In a 0-0 draw in a friendly between Vasco da Gama and Newells Old Boys in 1993, Maradona (playing for Newells at the time) said Dener was the sort of talent he hadn't seen for too long. Tragically, Dener died in a bizarre car crash in April 1994. He was traveling from Sao Paulo to Rio de Janeiro when his friend fell asleep on the wheel. The car swerved and hit a tree. It wasn't a big crash, but Dener's seat was all the way back and his body was heavily inclined when the car crashed. This way the seatbelt that was supposed to be around his chest was at neck height instantly breaking his neck on impact. Dozens of fans surrounded the weird crash site: inside the car, Dener appeared to simply be asleep. In his face, not a worry in the world.

The best footballer to retire at age 25 was Raul Schiaffino. He could've been the best Uruguayan player of all time. Born on December 7th 1923 and having joined Peñarol in 1943 he began playing professionally at 20 years of age in 1944. He was everything his younger brother Juan Alberto (indeed the best Uruguayan olyer of all time) was but twice as good. In 1946 at age 23 he suffered a tear which didn't heal properly and that was practically the end of his carreer. He came back a couple of times after that but he effectively closed his carreer for good in 1949 months before his 26th birthday.

Puskas was a genius .....his skill level was years ahead of his time .

At 27 I believe Dani Carvalho would be more reasonable than Sebastian Diesel. Dani played for Sporting, West Ham, Ajax, Benfica and Atlético Madrid. This guy came from the same Alcochete Academy(Sporting) which created players such as Futre, Figo, Simão, Paim, Nani, Quaresma and of course Cristiano. And he was the biggest young promise in Portugal since Figo. When he arrived at West Ham at just 20 years old, he had the young Frank Lampard and Rio Ferdinand cleaning his boots. The three were basically the same age, the difference was that Dani was a starter! In the same year he ended up leaving West Ham to sign with Ajax, coached at the time by Van Gaal and played alongside legends such as Van der Sar, Boer, Kluivert, Blind, Laudrup, McCarthy, Chivu and Van der Vaart. Then with 24 years old and having played 72 games for the Dutch team, Dani returned to Portugal to play for Benfica where he stayed for just a few months before deciding to take a break from football. The following season, at the age of 25, he signed for Atlético de Madrid and became champion of the Second Spanish Division and stayed at the club until in 2003 when he was already tired of football and retired definitively at the age of 27. To contextualize Dani's life, he was a young man who was not only talented but also very handsome, he had the English newspapers telling the citizens to 'lock their daughters at home', or the West Ham coach himself saying "He's so good-looking that I don't know whether to coach him or fuck him." It is known that Dani liked clubs, alcohol and women much more than playing football.

I feel bad for the younger players. Especially Doherty, retiring at 17! His career ended before it even begun! The fact he died later is even sadder.

I would put Tostão at the place of Mario de Castro, tostão was a brazilian striker who at 26, retired with almost 300 goals, was considered at the time the best player at probably the greatest side ever assembled (The 1970 wc brazilian national team) and is still the greatest legend of my childhood club, Cruzeiro He was doubted the little king since he was suposed to be the successor of pele, but a eye condition forced him to retire soon after 26 yo Its complicated since tostão and Mario were legends from rival clubs and I am not the most impartial, but I believe he would be the best call

Deisler is a tragic story due to his depressions. He was such a brillant player and was one of the last german "streetfootballers". I liked to see him play when i was a kid

Notable mention for Wesley Sneijder who retired age 35 and Van der Vaart also age 35.. quite funny since they played quite some games together. Wim Kieft dutch striker who won the golden boot in 82 retired age 34.

This season, only Son looks likely in the prem, but I'm sure the Bundesliga, La Liga, Serie A or Ligue 1 must have players nearing major milestones like that. Harry Kane isn't far from 200 if that's something to be considered.

I remember watching the game with Muambas cardiac arrest, awful, glad he lived through that. As i recal he was very good and could have gone on dominating english football but it wasnt to be.

It’s 80 degrees. Probably hot for the UK, but it’s not considered to be that hot pretty much anywhere in the US. Even the northernmost states (not Alaska) get to the eighties in the summer. The UK is further north though, keep that in mind.

I don't know if he would exactly qualify for this video, but perhaps Andrea Fortunato should've been included as the age 23 option (or earlier if decided based on last club appearance). He was a left back for Juventus during the early 90's, back in the golden serie a/football italia days, in the mould of Maldini or Torricelli, a regular starter for probably one of the top 5 teams in the world at the time, and pushing for a spot with the national team. An amazing player with few, if any, weaknesses and quality both on the ball and defending positionally. Tragically, he'd be diagnosed with a rare form of leukaemia some time around '94, which he underwent treatment for multiple times with varying degrees of success, and died in 1995, aged 23, just as it seemed he would finally beat the disease for good, of pneumonia, having become more susceptible to disease following his ordeal. A really sad end to a promising career and the life of a wonderful and very young man.

It's quite difficult to understand just how unbelievably good R9 really was. His abilities were so natural, and his skill was almost secondary to these incredible natural talents. His speed was amazing, but what was even greater than this speed was his acceleration. And all this with the ball. That's the difference between a great player and a legendary player. Honestly, he was just incredible to watch

Another consideration at 25 would have been Tony Green who is considered Newcastle’s best ever player

Ruben de la Red mustve been so heartbroken. Imagine watching Spain go on to dominate international football and win every trophy, while knowing you had the talent to be a starter in that squad. Ruben was really good.

He suffered an effectively career-ending injury at 25. He returned, played a couple of games, then became a player-coach for a few years, but never played as well as before.

2 Of these retired at Bolton. mental!

I loved the Mário de Castro inclusion

I wouldn't have even mentioned the Welsh thug - and I certainly won't mention it by name - but the way you dealt with the matter I think was better than that. A dishonourable mention, just perfect.

One of my biggest accomplishments would be as a footballer would be to feature on your videos or someone else like reymar or DDOF and yup Im putting the work in so it becomes a reality. Also how do you reserch football and footballers?

Mario de Castro!! Legend!

Gerd Müller is criminally underrated
