Dimitar Berbatov has announced his retirement from professional football.
Thus prompting Manchester United fans to reminisce over one spectacular goal against West Ham United at Old Trafford a number of years ago.
In a long message penned on his Instagram story, Berbatov confirmed what many had been thinking for a while now - that he's officially hung up his boots following spells at Bayer Leverkusen, Tottenham Hotspur, Fulham, Monaco and PAOK.
"I know some of you already thought that I retired," Berbatov wrote . "My last game was more [than] one year ago, so I think it’s the right time now to stop.
"It's long overdue!
"I will miss it. The games, the goals, the pressure, the roar of the fans when I scored another banger. I was blessed… to have the opportunity to play with one of the best ever and against some of the best ever.
"Thank you to all the people who helped me develop and become the player I always wanted to be. Thank you to all my former teams, my team-mates, my coaches and staff. It was a pleasure.
"I know at times I was not easy to work with but I always gave my everything for the teams I played for.
"I will miss all of this, people, because I love football so much… but I am sure you will miss me as well[!] Thank you!"
The aforementioned goal vs the Hammers came a decade ago when Berbatov produced a moment of wizardry to skip past James Collins from an acute angle to square the ball for Cristiano Ronaldo and record one of the greatest Premier League assists ever.
Judging by the reaction on Twitter, Man United fans certainly appreciated the reminder.
Take a look at what's been said.
