Andrew Johns quits league
ANDREW Johns, arguably the greatest rugby league player of all time, has been forced to end his glittering playing career due to a neck injury.
The former New South Wales and Australian Test captain called an end to his stellar career following hours of talks with leading spinal specialist Professor John Yeo today.
Johns, 32, underwent CAT scans this morning after aggravating a previous neck injury at training last Thursday in a collision with Newcastle team-mates Daniel Abraham and Adam Woolnough.
No matter what the sport, it's always a shame when an athlete can't leave the game on his own terms.

Never heard of him, but that seriously sucks.

AN enraged elephant spears its handler with its tusks after seeing one of the herd mistreated.
Found it on the right side of the link that Andrew posted.

Whilst I wouldn't call him the greatest rugby league player of all time (probably closest to most overrated rugby league player of all time), sad to see anyone have to curtail doing the thing they love due to injury
