Benny Issjo retires and enters The Units Hall Of Fame

The playing career of Units legend Benny Issjo came to an end today. Issjo, 32, was playing his 100th match for the club, an amazing achievement that only 2 other Units have reached.
Benny was the Units first star midfielder, and was probably the biggest bargain in history when The Units secured the dashing Swede for less than $600,000.
Benny was for many seasons one of The Units best players, but he will also be remembered for his coaching prowess. Benny was the first Unit player to become coach, and captain/coached the side to countless heroic victories. As Benny entered his 30's, thanks to his technical ability he even found a new lease of life as a defensive forward, producing 5-star performances in the new role.

Benny's last match was a memorable event. His Units team mates, suitably inspired, put in a rousing performance in the Nuclear Cup, defeating 4-time champions Green Loraxes 4-1. The match was attended by fellow Swedish hero's ABBA, Mats Wilander and Ingmar Bergman (deceased) among many other fans.

Benny will be inducted into the Units Hall of Fame in a huge ceremony tonight, during which he will also be awarded the Nobel Prize for Hattrick.

Benny is expected to concentrate on his music career with his magnificent (very high) dance band "thorleifs" (pictured right).
