Recently, in a Bulgarian television program, Martin Kabrov, a former Dalian Shide meritorious player who played for the old Zagorabero team, personally said his decision to retire in front of the microphone, and then he posted his retirement speech on his personal social media.
Martin wrote, dear friends, yesterday was a special day for me, and I said goodbye to one of the favorite things of my life. Leaving football is not an easy task for me, it has become a part of my life. I thank you for the motivation you have given me, I will not say goodbye to football because it has always been and will be a part of my life and I have not yet decided on the next work to be done. Now it's time to spend time with my family, who have given so much for my football career, and I bow deeply to everyone in my family, thank them for their understanding of me, and wish them good health!
On the TV show, Martin talked more about his career and said that the saddest thing for a footballer is to say goodbye to the sport, and it is very fortunate to be able to do my favorite job for 20 years, which is not something that everyone can do. I enjoy football so much and I have left my own name in the sport, and that's enough. I've been asked if I was going to end my career, but I never answered because the team was in a difficult time. I was ready to return to the team, but with the arrival of the new manager, the team was back on the right track, so it was all over.
Martin made his debut in the Bulgarian League for Plovdiv Botev in 1998, was crowned the top scorer of the season with 25 goals in 2003–04 and won his first and so far only Premier League title with Lokomotiv Plovdiv. In the summer of 2010, Martin joined Dalian Shide, and after joining the team, martin conquered Dalian fans with a killer goal, scoring 27 goals in two and a half seasons in Dalian. At the end of the 2012 season, due to the dissolution of Dalian Shide, Martin returned to the Bulgarian League and played for CSKA Sofia in 1948, Lokomotiv Plovdiv, and The Old Zagorabero.
Martin was named premier league top scorer in six seasons: 2003-04, 2004-05, 2008-09, 2013-14, 2015-16 and 2019-20. With martin officially announcing his retirement, his goal record in the Bulgarian top flight also stopped at 256 goals, which Martin used in 456 games, and the number of appearances of 456 was only 5 less than the first appearance record of 461 in the premier league.
