Tim Cahill pulled down the curtain on his international career on Tuesday after 107 appearances and 50 goals for the Caltex Socceroos.
News of the former Melbourne City star’s retirement has led to a host of current and former Hyundai A-League players paying tribute to the 38-year-old.
Here’s some of the reaction on Twitter to Cahill’s announcement:
