Absolutely.
No discussion of hot chicks or pictures of breasts. (Sorry- wrong TSF forum).@Bovidae Yeah Henin was 28ish for her second retirement (was due to injury).
Yao Ming was 30 maybe 31 (injury related as well)Not quite sure what the criteria is for too young? Before 30?

@bones said in Gooonnnnee too soon:
@mn5 he was too young at 40, ten years after his career ended?
Naa just wanted to find a reason that Mike hadn't mentioned.
Rocky Marciano retired at 49-0. One of the very few boxers who went out on top.

@mikethesnow I quite like Ochoa was 28 and had an 8 year career.

My old man's tennis partner Chris Laidlaw gave Rugby away at 26. Pretty young.
By tennis partner, do you mean saw him at breakfast once?
Nope. This is genuine family friendship, not one of @jegga s stories.
He was at my wedding. ( Chris Laidlaw, not jegga )
GFYS. Did Laidlaw flog any of your wedding gifts on the way out?
