Ahmed Mido Retires from Football

Mido: Egyptian retires from football at the age
of 30
Former Egypt international Ahmed 'Mido'
Hossam has announced his retirement from
football.
The striker joined English Championship side
Barnsley last June but left the club in January
after problems with injury and fitness.
"Today, I announce that I'm quitting football,"
the 30-year-old wrote on his Twitter page.
"I want to thank all those who supported me
during my football career, especially Egypt fans."
Mido's spell at Barnsley was an inglorious end to
his 14-year playing career, with the former
Tottenham Hotspur striker making just one
appearance during his time with the club.
