Adebayor has played his last game for Togo

Following the tragedy in January involving Togo's national team at the African Cup of Nations, star striker Emmanuel Adebayor has decided to retire from international play.

He claims to still be haunted the attacks which killed an assistant coach, press officer and bus driver. Goalkeeper Kodjovi Obilale and defender Serge Akakpo both recovered after being hit by bullets, along with Togo boss Hubert Velud.

You can't blame anyone for backing away after a life-changing experience like that.

"I have weighed up my feelings in the weeks and months since the attack, and I am still haunted by the events which I witnessed on that horrible afternoon on the Togo team bus. We were just footballers going to play a football match and represent our country, yet we were attacked by people who wanted to kill us all. It is a moment I will never forget and one I never want to experience again."

Adebayor has had a fine season with his new club Manchester City, scoring 13 goals and 3 assists in 21 games.
