His Royal Highness Richard Hill WCW LL HT LG* has (very quietly) announced that he is to retire at the end of this season.
Unlike other players whose name I could mention, rather than announce his retirement in a blaze of autobiographies, stingy comments and general publicity, god-like flanker Richard had to be caught out by making an off hand comment to a member of the press while discussing his team Saracens chances in this years HEC.
A guy who in his prime got to the breakdown before the breakdown even began, who staked his reputation on quietly breaking off of the back of a lineout and nailing the openside winger before they even thought about doing anything with the ball. An incredibly humble and amazing player who will be sorely missed from English and Saracen's set up.
(* key: WCW = World Cup Winner, LL = Living Legend, HT = Holy Trinity member, LG = Living God)
