Simon Posted 26 July 2007 Posted 26 July 2007 No link yet but just seen on SSN that Matty Piper has retired through injury. I think we all knew it was going to happen but its a crying shame that a player with such potential had to retire. All the best Matty.
mancunianfox Posted 26 July 2007 Posted 26 July 2007 Piper - Retired Hammond - Employed There really is no justice in the world.
Joe. Posted 26 July 2007 Posted 26 July 2007 Yes, he always looked like a great prospect when he was with us and it's a shame a player of his ability has been struck down with injuries.
The People's Hero Posted 26 July 2007 Posted 26 July 2007 Piper - RetiredHammond - Employed There really is no justice in the world. Seconded.
Simi Posted 26 July 2007 Posted 26 July 2007 I'm sure that he retired a while back Although I think he wanted to give it one last shot. Unlucky Matty
lildave3 Posted 26 July 2007 Posted 26 July 2007 Piper - RetiredHammond - Employed There really is no justice in the world. So so true. <_<
Bluefoxtim Posted 26 July 2007 Posted 26 July 2007 I'm sure that he retired a while back Although I think he wanted to give it one last shot. Unlucky Matty Same, thought this was announced about 3 months ago?
THEBIGJOHNSTEADER; Posted 26 July 2007 Posted 26 July 2007 So so true. <_< He was the shining light of an awful season under PT and he should have been an absolute legend for us. I'm blaming Taylor for this one too!!
Simon Posted 26 July 2007 Author Posted 26 July 2007 Same, thought this was announced about 3 months ago? Been on trial at Mansfield apparently...
mancunianfox Posted 26 July 2007 Posted 26 July 2007 He was the shining light of an awful season under PT and he should have been an absolute legend for us. I'm blaming Taylor for this one too!! Me too. What a cnut.
dandannieldanok Posted 26 July 2007 Posted 26 July 2007 He was the shining light of an awful season under PT and he should have been an absolute legend for us. I'm blaming Taylor for this one too!! Amazingly I don't blame PT at all, he was sold as a necessity and it was fully the board's decision.
Bert Posted 26 July 2007 Posted 26 July 2007 Unlucky Matt. I remember that game against Leeds. Ran Woodgate Ragged. All the best.
Master Fox Posted 26 July 2007 Posted 26 July 2007 Peter Taylor is responsible for this. What an exiting player Pipes was when emerging into the team. I can’t remember a player since that had the same kind of impact as Matty Piper did for us. I remember feeling absolutely gutted when we sold him, big shame really.
The Reverend Posted 26 July 2007 Posted 26 July 2007 Been a long time coming, but very sad that one with such talent has to retire before schedule. All the best Matty.
Geo V Posted 26 July 2007 Posted 26 July 2007 Its a sad day. Piper was an exciting player who could have been very good but at 25 has been forced to retire. May I wish him the best for the future. http://home.skysports.com/list.aspx?hlid=4...+calls+it+quits Former Sunderland man Matt Piper has been forced to retire. Piper had pitched up at Mansfield on trial, but he has been struggling with a knee injury The former Leicester man has had a torrid time with injuries which blighted his progress over the last few years. The 25-year-old has now taken the difficult decision to call time on his career. "Matthew phoned me the other night and informed me that he was going to retire from football," Mansfield boss Billy Dearden told the club's official website. "His knee has been giving him tremendous pain and you have to think about your health if you are feeling pain after most training sessions. On behalf of everyone at Mansfield I would like to wish Matthew all the best."
filbertboy Posted 26 July 2007 Posted 26 July 2007 How sad is that ?? He must have been desperate to carry on cos he kept trying.......ten ops on that knee. well thanks for that goal at filbert street and good luck Matt !
Lets Be having You Posted 26 July 2007 Posted 26 July 2007 http://www.teamtalk.com/football/story/0,1...2621012,00.html Bad news that,i wish him well,and thanks for the few great games he played in a city shirt

Thracian Posted 26 July 2007 Posted 26 July 2007 Sadly you always knew it would end like this. It really was wishful thinking when people were saying he should try for a comeback at Leicester. Presumably, if it what he wants, he'll be able to find a new careeer in football. I would hope so anyway. But either way I hope his luck changes for the better..
