Sad way for his career to end, if so.
Played a lot of football for us during a turbulent period for the club, and became a mainstay on a couple of occasions. Not sure how many times he played alongside Daniel Agger, but that felt like a partnership we perhaps didn't see as often we'd have liked over the years.
He contributed a fantastic 7 goals during that 2013-14 title 'challenge'. I'll always remember, just as that second half of the season run was taking off, arriving to the pub a little late to meet my parents to watch the home tie against Arsenal - I wasn't expecting to have missed much...certainly didn't expect to have missed a Martin Skrtel brace!

Potential ruptured Achilles at the age of 36 isn't good, but he's responded to a SportsMail article about his retirement with "No F*cking Way!" so it's good to see he's still the mad hardcase we knew and loved here ;D
319 games and 18 goals is some going. Nearly 100 appearances more than Danny Agger.

Skrtel had debut today for Trnava in Slovak league..

Will retire on Saturday after helping his boyhood club FC Spartak Trnava win the Slovak cup this season.

He looks so much better with hair.
Don't know why he opted for the bald look for so many years.
Maybe he wanted to look like a 'hard man' - because he certainly wasn't one.
Very similar hair trajectory as Paul Konchesky ;D
