At a time or another, most of us get to a point where we need to bid others goodbye, but it's not always easy to come up with the right words. It's important to have something meaningful to say if a memorable event has been arranged to mark your retirement. Goodbye John mikel obi pic.twitter.com/UINGHAXlnR

John Mikel Obi,
I remember how it all started in the U-20 team.
I remember how you were the best, second only to Messi.
