English former professional footballer, Rio Ferdinand has penned down a heart warming message to Antonio Valencia as he declares retirement from football. Rio took to his social media channel, expressing how much Antonio has accomplished over the years as not just a player but a man and a leader. In his words, "What a career, what a player, what a man....One of the most humble men I know. Painfully shy but always made me smile with how shy he was! What a professional too, always doing extra training in the gym (so he could look like me)! "Pleasure to play with you my man. Enjoy retirement Tonio." Earlier, Antonio had thanked all Manchester United fans for the support, affection and experience as he announced the end of his playing career.
