On Saturday July 16, 2005, a long-awaited event—Jim Fitzgerald's Retirement Barbeque— actually took place. After more promises of retirement than Mike Tyson over the last few years, Fitzy has stamped his Air Canada timecard for the last time.

And Air Canada were not the only ones celebrating, as you can see from the pictures below.

Congratulations Fitzy, on your admission into the 'Layabouts Club'.
