Posted by Former Arsenal, Manchester United and Netherlands forward Robin van Persie says he will retire from football at the end of the season. 
The 35-year-old - who returned to Feyenoord, where he made his debut aged 17, in January - has scored 50 goals in 102 appearances for his country.
Van Persie spent eight seasons with Arsenal, scoring 132 goals in 278 appearances and helping them win the FA Cup in 2004 before signing with Manchester United where he won a Premier League title.
He was at Old Trafford for three seasons before leaving to join Turkish side Fenerbahce in 2015.
While many contend he left the Gunners for silverware, it's often forgotten Van Persie ended his first season in north London with a trophy. He helped Arsenal beat United on penalties to lift the 2005 FA Cup, scoring in the shootout in Cardiff.
His time at Arsenal wasn't without trouble, though, as the club stuck by Van Persie through several lengthy injury layoffs. Faith was rewarded as he eventually showed the capability to play as a lone striker and came of age in 2011/12 when he scored 37 goals, winning the Premier League Golden Boot in the process.

Post Summary
The 35-year-old - who returned to Feyenoord, where he made his debut aged 17, in January - has scored 50 goals in 102 appearances for his country.
Van Persie spent eight seasons with Arsenal, scoring 132 goals in 278 appearances and helping them win the FA Cup in 2004 before signing with Manchester United where he won a Premier League title.
"When I have to stop? That is probably at the end of this season," he said.Van Persie, who had a spell in Turkey with Fenerbahce between leaving Manchester United and rejoining Feyenoord, told Dutch publication AD he had "lost the fun" before returning to his homeland.
"I will be 36 years old and will have been a professional for 18 years. From the age of five, I've only been involved in football.
"I also do not believe that my return to Feyenoord has only been successful if we win the title," he added.He joined Manchester United in 2012 for £24m and helped them win the Premier League in Sir Alex Ferguson's final season in charge.
"How is it successful? This is actually it, if you look at the whole picture. I had lost the fun. That's not how I wanted to end, without pleasure. The fun has returned at Feyenoord.
"I want to win as a football player and the cup win was nice, but that is not the measurement between whether it is successful or not.
"I wanted to give something back, share my experiences. I am trying to help my fellow players"'
He was at Old Trafford for three seasons before leaving to join Turkish side Fenerbahce in 2015.
