Arsenal Legend Overmars Returns From Retirement After 4 Years

By Bilal Zaidi

Sorry for those who e-mailed in asking where I had gone. I’ve had a hectic couple of months and have not been able to post as often as I would like to. Anyway, I am back with the news that Marc Overmars plans to return to playing football after four years out with the ‘Go Ahead Eagles’.

The Dutch ace is one of my favourite players of all time so to hear this news was fascinating.He is now 35 years old so for him to play a small role is just a bit of random...pleasant news. Overmars said:

“I’m retired for four years now and I train only once a week. But you can
achieve a lot when you really want it. That’s what I want to add to the team
together with my experience.”... “The main reason for my comeback is that I want
to help the club, but it’s nice to play again too.”

Do you remember your favourite Overmars memory? Share yours in the comments section below. More from me shortly. Good day all.

Mine would have to be that first goal in the FA cup (against Newcatle?) all those years ago... I was only about 11 at the time and unfortunately only ever saw Arsenal on MOTD back then so sadly missed many moments. It was nice to see him play at the Emirates for Begkamps testimonial though!
