Colts to retire Manning’s No. 18 jersey in October
THE Indianapolis Colts said on Tuesday they planned to retire Peyton Manning’s No. 18 jersey and unveil a statue of the legendary quarterback outside the team’s stadium in October.
Manning, who retired from the National Football League after leading the Denver Broncos to an upset Super Bowl victory over the Carolina Panthers last year, spent 13 seasons with the Colts. He remains the team’s all-time leading passer with 54,828 yards and 399 touchdowns and also guided the team to a Super Bowl win over the Chicago Bears in the 2005-2006 season. “Peyton will always be a Colt,” Colts owner and CEO Jim Irsay said in a statement announcing the October 7 statue unveiling. “This will be an event our city, state and Colts fans around the world can celebrate and be proud of.” Manning is the first Colts player to have his number retired since the team moved to Indianapolis from Baltimore.
