My favourite player 💔

It's so easy for fans these days to get obsessed with stats, and honours and comparing players, but the bigger picture is so much more beautiful.

Eden was a guy I had the honour of watching week in week out for 7 years at my club, playing at the highest level. Ridiculous player and an even better person. He gave me so many happy memories. I'll forever be grateful.

He was sooo good at the peak of his game!

Hey @Eden17, good to see you.

And yeah, Eden Hazard was an amazing player on his good seasons. Maybe one of the top 5 players in the world when he was at his best. I guess his biggest issue was that he either had great seasons or seasons where injury would take him down too much for him to be effective. No in-between.

Still! What a player he was when he was in form. Nothing but absolute respect for him and what he did. He nearly won a world cup with Belgium as well and I will never forget his performance vs Brazil where he won his team so many time and faults. Just an amazing player and a great person all around from what I seen.

Absolutely, Eden Hazard's retirement is a bittersweet moment for fans like us. He's not just a player with incredible skills and achievements but also a genuinely great human being. The memories he created on the pitch will stay with us forever.

How could I have missed this one 🤦‍♂️

Great player and a sad moment. Will be missed.

In the end, this player went to rest and will eat his donuts at home
