I had to retrain my brain – Ryan Mason
Ryan Mason has been speaking to the 鶹ҳ for the first time since his decision to retire from football because of the fractured skull he suffered when playing against Chelsea in January 2017.

The former Hull City midfielder also outlined the support Arsenal goalkeeper Petr Cech has provided during his rehabilitation, describing the 35-year-old as a “great man”.
