Troy Polamalu retires after 12 NFL Seasons

As one of the most popular and highly paid players for the Pittsburgh Steelers, Polmalu is leaving to focus on his most important achievement - his family.

"Thank God football has provided me the ability to be able to sit back and see what the options are. But I'll definitely be the best father I can possibly be."

Born in the US, Polamalu is most famous for his amazing head of hair that was used to sell shampoo, as well as being awarded the 2010 defensive player of the year.

We wish the uso all the best for his future endeavours!
