Olly Lee on his retirement from the game

The Sports Hub: Post-match

Available for over a year

18 months ago, Olly Lee was just like any other professional footballer for Gillingham - excited when the team won, down when they lost, what happened next was the last thing he expected. Olly had started to struggle with his fitness - he was then diagnosed with Psoriatic Arthritis and Raynaud's disease and earlier this year he made the heart-breaking decision to retire from the game. He issued a statement to fans saying "I can no longer perform to the levels I know I am capable of. My body no longer allows it." In his first interview since his retirement, Olly spoke to Stephen Brown at Âé¶¹Éç Radio Kent.
