Yes I saw that horrendous tackle and was shocked as it was the worst I have ever seen. It only got a booking.

This, he and his family are really settled in this area, so I'd imagine having to commute to a another club out if the area also factored in his decision.
Delighted he's remaing with us.
A sound decision by LR. Reading some great football autobio's recently, you realise that many players carry on too long, leaving them half crippled in every day life post-football.
An intelligent guy, I'm sure he'll make a success of this. His kids go a local school, so he won't need to move away.
p.s. For those concerned with positive discrimination / The Rooney Rule, not myself, the Albion are certainly doing their bit for diversity.

Fantastic news.............remember the way he talked about his coaching aspirations in an interview a couple of years ago, along with his love of the club. Having him and Bobby around can only be positive for the youngsters - great role models.

Agree that as horrendous as that tackle was, it certainly didn't end his career, and choosing to hang up his boots at 34 isn't particularly early, not everyone is a Calde.
In any case if he decided to play on it would surely have only been for a couple more seasons or so, after that who knows what opportunities, if any would have come up for him? At least by taking this opportunity, he can continue doing a job he loves, with a club that he loves, for hopefully many years to come.

Great news and another smart move by the club.
I love this picture and have seen it countless times, but I have literally only just noticed hes covered in blood!

I am delighted that he has decided to take his first steps in coaching with us, who knows where it could lead in 10 years time when CH has retired. I am surprised that he hasnt decided to be available as an over age player for the U23 if required or perhaps he has and just not mentioned it.
This explains why Liam was with the Albion coaching contingent at the Charlton Athletic friendly given that there were an awful lot of the U23s on the bench for that match. Like everyone else I wish him all the best as he always seemed like a thoroughly decent bloke.

Yes, Kermorgant’s challengers was horrific, absolutely shameful. Reading are a nobody club with no siginificence, so they don’t bother me, but I must say seeing Steve Sidwell smash his elbow into the back of Kermorgant’s head in the reverse fixture as payback for Rosenior was one of the most satisfying and deserved things I’ve ever seen. All made better by the fact that we won 3-0 and the Reading fans (as per usual) were silent all game.

Excellent news. Cutting his teeth with the u23s is a great start.

Me too , though i think the most of these pictures just show his top half , it looks like he's been shot in the belly but just carried on in time honoured monty python's , tis but a scratch .

Hopefully we'll have an era in which a heartfelt and erudite footballer - or should I say English footballer - is not such a rarity. For now, though, this little treasure of a chap remains a blessing amongst us, and I only wish those under his tutelage learn to mirror the person as well as the sportsman.
You also have to factor in ''stability'' in a coaching capacity
If he goes somewhere else the managerial merry go round is such that he could have ended up going somewhere as a No 1 or a No2 and the manager and his assistant are sacked within a few months. There is a 3/4 year stability of Manager at Brighton as it currently stands. Plus he was already doing some coaching last year with us so it probably was an easy decision for him to make once he had been told we wouldn't be offering him a new ''playing contract''
