Which athlete when he retired made you feel old?

For me it was Doug Gilmour. I started loving the Leafs when they were terrible in the 80's and then Gilmour arrived. It was weird seeing a star for my childhood retire. Gretzky turning 50 kinda reminded me of this.

True story, I helped Doug Gilmour move boxes out of Maple Leaf Gardens when I was ten. I went to a leafs game the night before and usually the day after a game people would hang out in the morning and wait for players to get done practice to get their autographs. My day and I were walking to our hotel and all of a sudden we see Gilmour walk out of the Gardens. He had a broken nose so he didn't go on the Leafs road trip. I ran up to him and asked for an autograph. He said sure if I helped him move some boxes. Lol pretty friggen cool.
