Davide Santon wakes up in agony every morning. The pain is so bad that the former Newcastle United defender spends the first quarter of an hour of each day doing a series of stretches and exercises just so he is 'able to walk properly'.
As much as Santon wants to run still, some days, the Italian has to listen to his body and put his trainers away. Is it any wonder Santon decided to retire at the age of just 31 last month?
"I gave all my body to football," he told ChronicleLive.
