Tottenham Goalkeeper Brad Friedel to Retire at the End of the Season

The 43-year-old will bring the curtain down on a career which has spanned three decades and included spells with Liverpool, Blackburn and Aston Villa.

He joined Tottenham in 2011, but has been back-up to Hugo Lloris since the Frenchman's arrival the following year.

Friedel said on the Tottenham website: "I'm incredibly proud of what I've achieved in my career. When I first started the journey I never imagined it would be this long, playing 23 seasons in total and representing some incredible clubs."
