Goalkeeper Kevin Pressman has retired following a 19-year career.
The 38-year-old former Sheffield Wednesday keeper said he had been forced into the decision after leaving Mansfield at the end of last season.
"There have been no phone calls, no offers to play football," he told the Sheffield Star.
"I can't sit around forever waiting for the phone to ring. They say don't pack football in too early; it seems football has packed me in."
Pressman spent nine years at Sheffield Wednesday, making over 400 appearances.
He also had spells at Stoke, West Brom, Leicester, Leeds, Coventry and Mansfield.

I'm surprised he hasn't had an offer from a Div 2/ Conference club, surely if he is fit enough, he's good enough for that level.

I wouldn't mind him coming back as a coach who could become 3rd keeper if we were really desperate.

Served Wednesday well over the time he was here. Hope to see him down at Hillsborough as keeper coach in the future.
