Eyre ready to call it a day
Last updated : 11 September 2005 By Luke Thornhill
Eyre, who was part of the 1999 promotion winning side before joining his hometown club Hull City, admits his body cannot cope with the rigours of full-time training.
He asked to build up his fitness as Glanford Park, but manager Brian Laws declined his request, and a move to League Two side Darlington failed to materialise.

BBC Radio Humberside: "I suffered a prolapsed disc five months ago, it's something that i've struggled with since I was 20.
"I've put my body through quite a lot, but I've enjoyed it all
"Getting back to play full-time football is too much for me now. Now it's going to be a change of career for me.
"I've been doing a coaching scheme with East Riding and hopefully I can get that qualification and stay in the game in that form.
"Football is all I know, so if I can keep in the game then that will be a great job for me.
"I'm not missing it greatly, am spending a lot of time with the kids and getting under the wife's feet."
