Ashton forced to retire
West Ham United have announced that striker Dean Ashton has been forced to retire from professional football at the age of 26.
Ashton had not played a first-team game for 14 months and speculation had mounted in recent weeks that the Hammers would announce that his career had been curtailed.
The striker could never fully recover from an ankle injury suffered at England training in August 2006 and West Ham may now seek compensation in the form of a £7 million insurance claim against the Football Association.
England boss Fabio Capello rated Ashton highly and tipped him to make a big impact on the international stage, handing him his Three Lions' debut in a friendly against Trinidad and Tobago last summer.
Zola had persistently refused to write-off Ashton but the striker was forced to admit defeat because of chronic degeneration in the ankle.

i remembered Ashton scoring a beautiful scissor-kick the last time he played against Man Utd...
it's really tragic...players normally start to peak in their careers at around 26...
