When Paul Merson retired he suggested it was because when young kids went to games they would question their fathers who said that he was a good player.
A Ceefax interview with Tamworth boss Mark Cooper (page 394) says that Merson retired because he picked up an Achillies injury during training. It seems it was a relapse of the injury that prevented him making many appearences for ourselves this season. It looks like he returned to football too early after his Walsall sacking.
