Coventry kid James Quinn has announced his retirement from football. The striker currently with Northampton has been unable to get a place in the Northern Ireland side and decided that if he can't play at the level he wants to then he will become a supporter.
Speaking to the Belfast Telegraph, the City supporting Quinn said: "I knew playing for Northampton wasn't good enough to earn me a place in the international team. "Nigel Worthington phoned me when he took over and told me if I was playing regularly then there was still a role for me with Northern Ireland. "If I can't play for Northern Ireland then I would rather quit football and become a fan and cheer the lads on to qualification. "I've played 50 times for my county and that fills me with pride."
Quinny never got to play for his beloved Sky Blues but has played for the clubs listed below.
