I was just going by what the article said at the bottom

In an interview in February, Smith said he made his decision to go part-time after suffering abuse at the hands of youngsters.

He said: "The recognition I get can be ugly. They hunt in packs, see me, laugh, point, sometimes chuck lager and shout things.

"I absolutely hate it and by semi-retiring - just coming back for a stint every four months - I become a bit less recognisable and hopefully less subjected to the horrible abuse I've suffered."

Terrible that people pick on him for doing something he has enjoyed for many years
