From the source
Former Norwich City and Finland striker Teemu Pukki has announced his retirement from football at the age of 36. Pukki, who quit international duty last year, is Finland's men's all-time top scorer with 43 goals in 133 matches, while his number of caps is the country's second highest.
He scored 88 goals in 210 appearances for Norwich between 2018 and 2023, helping the Canaries twice win promotion to the Premier League. "I've seen the world and gained experience because of football and I don't think I could have gotten anything like football anywhere else.
"It hasn't always been fun or I haven't been able to enjoy it, but the love for football has remained - always. Big thanks to the great clubs and their fans."
