Olly Lee on his retirement from the game
18 months ago, Olly Lee was just like any other professional footballer for Gillingham - excited when the team won, down when they lost, what happened next was the last thing he expected.
Olly had started to struggle with his fitness - he was then diagnosed with Psoriatic Arthritis and Raynaud's disease and earlier this year he made the heart-breaking decision to retire from the game.
He issued a statement to fans saying "I can no longer perform to the levels I know I am capable of. My body no longer allows it."
In his first interview since his retirement, Olly spoke to Stephen Brown at ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio Kent.
