Former Arsenal star Tomas Rosicky has announced his retirement.
The midfielder retired after 18 years of playing career at the age of 37.
The Czech midfielder won silverware with the Gunners, Borussia Dortmund and Sparta Prague.
He also won 105 caps for his country, leaving him third on the all-time list behind only Petr Cech and Karel Poborsky.
"After careful consideration I have realised I am no longer able to fully prepare my body for what professional football requires," Rosicky said at a press conference on Wednesday.
"I would like to thank Sparta for raising me, for being the first step in my career in big clubs, and for allowing me to say goodbye at the place I love the most."
