Andy King and Ronaldo have one thing in common as the Bristol City veteran enjoys a swansong

When Andy King was asked if he knows what his plans are beyond this season, the veteran Bristol City midfielder likened his position to a certain Cristiano Ronaldo.

The 34-year-old continues to work towards his coaching badges and after signing a one-year player/contract deal during the summer, there's every chance King could opt to hang up his boots at the end of the campaign.

For any footballer, the realisation to call time on a playing career - a life that for many is all they've ever known - can't be an easy decision to make. Still, they have plenty of time ahead of them and if they opt to move away from football, retired players have the task of seeking a new passion in life which can be easier said than done.
