@bones Regan King? Didn't he return from Europe only last year and play in the Heartland comp for Mid-Canterbury? Pretty long career, considering he's now 37 years old.
Oh sorry TSF off topic master! I thought King was 'that centre from Waikato'.
Absolute case in point. I'm astounded to know Regan King is even alive. To me he is that young kid from Waikato who looked awesome and then disappeared off the face of the earth. a career gone too soon
King ? Pfffft.
He wasn't even the best Maori centre from Waikato in the last 16 years with the initials RK.
My old man's tennis partner Chris Laidlaw gave Rugby away at 26. Pretty young.
Laidlaw and Kirk, among others, were professional men in the amateur era. They could see rugby as the well paid career it is today

Was James Ryan that carrot top? He's a doctor now right or maybe a lawyer?
Toeava left too soon prolly.
That tall Chinese basketball player was a superstar for a brief time, what happened to him?That tall chinese basketball player got inducted into the NBA hall of fame last year (maybe the year before) with Shaq. Ming was a beast.

@bones The article was about players ending their career early. That's how I read the subject. My bad.
I'm not sure that you really need to police thread topics anyway. The fern ebbs and flows, in and out, deep breaths when things go astray (and stay away from the "off topic" forum that will do your head in).

By tennis partner, do you mean saw him at breakfast once?
Nope. This is genuine family friendship, not one of @jegga s stories.
He was at my wedding. ( Chris Laidlaw, not jegga )

@mn5 Actually Kahui is a good one for leaving too soon. Although, he had an impressive list of achievements for his short career.
Yep good call. Hard to break up that Nonu/Smith partnership though.
I thought he left more due to the fact he was basically broken (shoulders I think) so went to easy rugby in Japan?

Absolutely.
No discussion of hot chicks or pictures of breasts. (Sorry- wrong TSF forum).@Bovidae Yeah Henin was 28ish for her second retirement (was due to injury).
Yao Ming was 30 maybe 31 (injury related as well)Not quite sure what the criteria is for too young? Before 30?

@mariner4life are you on holiday? I feel like you've been hitting the turps a lot lately.
But yes, RIP. Can't believe Hansen got away with murder.

@gunner shit actually, think I've got the wrong guy, or wrong spelling. Ex lock/6 for the canes, had a cracking season just as he signed overseas and was mentioned as being on the cusp of AB selection.
Michael?
