Ahead Quote by Oliver Luck
“I think for every player it's different. Most guys play for as long as they can until they're sort of pushed out the door. But I do think there are guys who realize there's a whole 40 years of a working life ahead of you when you're 25 or 30 and you want to get on with it.”
