Personalised Sports Cards for Retirement

Retirement is the end of a long career, and a sports card is a fitting way to mark it. Whether they are hanging up their boots after decades

Showing 8 of 127 designs

Retirement is the end of a long career, and a sports card is a fitting way to mark it. Whether they are hanging up their boots after decades of Sunday league or leaving a job they have done for thirty years, the card treats them like a club legend. Choose a photo, set a position, and fill six stats with the record of a working life. Each card is printed to order and cut to the outline of its design, ready for a leaving do or a presentation.

Career stats

This is the page to go big on numbers. Years served, meetings sat through, cups of tea made for the team, customers helped, miles commuted. For a player retiring from the game, use real career figures: appearances, goals, clean sheets, trophies.

A high overall rating is a nice touch for someone stepping away at the top.

Cards from the whole team

Colleagues and teammates often club together for one large card for the retiree. Others make a small card for each person who is leaving at the end of a season. If a whole team wants their own copy as a keepsake, order one card in several sizes.

Choosing a photo

Look for a photo where they look like themselves: at their desk, in their kit, at a team event. A recent photo is usually best. We remove the background, so you can use a picture taken anywhere, and check the preview before ordering.

Sizes for a presentation

A larger size from A5 (14.8 × 21 cm, 5.8 × 8.3 in) to A0 (84.1 × 118.9 cm, 33.1 × 46.8 in) works for a presentation in front of colleagues and can be hung at home afterwards. Smaller sizes suit a card signed by the team. Prices start from £20.00.

Retiring from the game

Hanging up the boots after years of Saturday or Sunday football deserves its own send off. A card with their best stats and a photo from their playing days is the sort of thing that ends up framed in a hallway. Rugby club stalwarts, club cricketers and veteran referees all deserve one too, perhaps with a testimonial style rating of 99.

Getting it right

Check any dates, years of service or career figures with someone who knows the details, and pick jokes the retiree will enjoy seeing again. Read the name and job title in the preview, and check that the photo shows them looking their best. Order with time in hand before the leaving date.

Questions, answered

Can I make a card for someone retiring from work rather than sport?

Yes. The design borrows from sports cards, but the stats and position can be about any career.

Can I order several copies for colleagues?

Yes. You can order the same card in more than one size, or several copies of one size.

Can I change the position to a job title?

Yes. The position is free text, so a job title or a nickname both work.

Can I preview the card before ordering?

Yes. The preview updates as you edit, so you can check the photo, name and stats before you order.
