Corry ‘politely’ calls it quits

Corry ‘politely’ calls it quits

8 Jan 2008

Former England captain Martin Corry today pulled the plug on his international career.

Corry, 34, who played in the World Cup final only three months ago, “politely” declined an offer from England coach Brian Ashton for a place in the 32-man squad for the Six Nations, according to The Guardian.

Corry, however, will still serve one more year with Leicester.

After 64 England and six Lions’ caps, Corry said he could no longer carry on. “It’s just a shame I’m getting old. Something has to give,” he said.

    Patrick? Whos patrick?
    He needs to be introduced, how do we know he’s credible, and by “credible” i mean “not a Stormers fan”

    anyway, never saw much in Corry, but have been watching some premiership games and saw him combine with Croft for a brilliant, length of the field try.

    Corry is good in club games, not so much in test matches. But not bad.

    Patrick? Please do a thorough background check on this man! He could be Mike Stofile in disguise!

    Corry had one good game his entire carrer in my eyes..The infamous test at Twickenham in 05′ when England bullied the Boks into submission-the “men vs boys” test-Jake White rant.Corry made Big Joe & the rest of the Bok loose trio his b!tch*$..Other than than he was kak…Too slow

    seems like Patrick is either shy, or above all this riff raff?

    cant fault a pompom like corry, always totally committed, not the most mobile but a tough competitor and not a big whinger.

    England needed Corry at times, because he was solid and got through the hard graft. He was also ponderous and slow – not suited to the modern game.

    Probably a good thing for England that the old buggers are retiring.

    Just look how the entire limey pack was pushed around in the world cup by the Boks, they looked old and tired., this guy never had the same leadership as MJ.
