EFL fans honor ‘all time legend’ after he hangs up his boots
When a legend declares they are hanging up their boots for good, it’s always a sad day.
Over the years, some outstanding players have represented several clubs in the Championship and the rest of the Football League, but few are more legendary than Jordan Rhodes.
Rhodes, who scored more than 200 goals in his career, played for Norwich City, Blackburn Rovers, Huddersfield Town, and other teams.

Fans of the EFL respond to Jordan Rhodes’ retirement
The former Scotland international received a range of responses from different fans because he played for eleven different clubs.

Huddersfield fan, @htfc8108 added: “What a legend at Huddersfield Town, you will always be welcome back at the stadium Jordan. All the very best for what you do in your next chapter Jordan and congratulations on an incredible goalscoring career.”
@Joe_Loughran26 said: “Warra player.”
@smileawhilezine commented: “Happy retirement to the goal machine Jordan Rhodes. For those too young to enjoy Marcus Stewart, he was a new age hero for the terriers with a casual style, deceptive movement and ruthless finishing qualities. A throwback striker that will always be remembered!”
@GiallorossiBlue also said: “What a player Jordan Rhodes was for Rovers, he was a difference maker. Happy retirement, Jordan!”
Jordan Rhodes gets a new position right out of retirement.
Rhodes will no longer be participating, but his absence from the game was brief because he was hired as Blackburn’s new loan manager.
Shortly after his retirement was announced to the public, the 35-year-old’s new position was confirmed, and he pledges to “go above and beyond” to succeed in his new capacity.
“Football has been very kind to me,” he remarked. Naturally, I owe a debt of gratitude to numerous individuals, including family, friends, and instructors throughout the years, who have enabled me to realize this dream, but I am eager for the next phase.
