thats just bollocks. if he overates himself, by thinking he has something to contribute when he doesnt, that has nothing to with his valuing of the jumper.
Although he has had a long time in football, a football career is relatively short. I cant blame any person for wanting to continue their career as long as they can. Once you pull the pin, there's no going back, its over.
If the match committee refused to select him then that would influence his thinking, but as long as they select him , he, as most players would, will see this as vindication to continue on playing.
His career went a few longer than it should, but to label a player selfish just because he wants to continue doing something he enjoys and has been the main focus in his life for the last ten years is unfair.
