Former Liverpool centre-back Martin Skrtel made a name for himself over the years for his tough-tackling, no-nonsense approach - but now he is having to get used to the No.10 role.
The 38-year-old announced his retirement from professional football last year after struggling with a persistent back problem. He had clocked over 500 appearances for the likes of Liverpool, Zenit St Petersburg and Fenerbache, before ending at Slovakian outfit Spartak Trnava.
However, after a short spell out of the game, Skrtel has decided to return and play for local amateur team FK Hajskala Raztocno in the Slovakian eighth tier. Rather than deploying the usual centre-half berth that he was so used to in his professional career, Skrtel has opted to play in a different position for his new team.
