Adebayor quits Togo after ‘worst season’

TOGO striker Emmanuel Adebayor announced his retirement from international football last night, declaring his intent on steering Manchester City into the Champions League after “the worst season of my life”.

Adebayor has made the decision in the wake of the attack on the Togo team during this year’s African Nations Cup, in which two people were killed.

A statement from the 26-year-old said: “Following the tragic events during January’s African Cup of Nations, in which two of my fellow countrymen were killed by terrorists in Angola, I have made the very difficult decision to retire from international football.
