Well Cruijff said numerous times he wanted to quit. Yet he also came back numerous times.

Didn't Cruijff quit completely but was forced to comeback because he lost all his money with an investment in some kind of pig farm?

Woodgate's never retired, he's just perpetually injured.

In a way Giuseppe Signori. He was retired for a year and this season is leading the line at Sopron in the Hungarian First Division.

You could make a very long list if you considered people retiring and unretiring from their national squads.
