Antti Niemi has retired from football after a wrist injury forced him out for two months, when he was planning to quit at the end of the season.

What a great goalkeeper he was.

I remember he went up for a corner against Fulham and hit a stinging volley against the bar and Michael Svensson headed home the rebound - 3.13

also that quality triple save against Patrick Viera - 1.36

I'm really sad seeing this as he was such a great keeper and my idol when I was younger. Met him on several occasions (as he was always MOTM) and he was such a nice bloke too.

He had superb reactions and positioning that I am very surprised that he only managed to play for Saints and Fulham as he was certainly good enough to play for one of the very top clubs.

Legend.
