That's more likely to be from a recent maxfac op than the original injury. If I was hazarding a guess. Still looks a right state mind!

royal white Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 Just now, MickyD said: Back in the day when me and Andrew Flintoff met. Had 2 nights on the piss with him years ago, just after he had an OP on his foot. He was designated driver one night, foot in pot and was pretty much steaming come the end of the night. I didn’t really have an idea of how famous he was until he started getting mobbed in the boozers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MancWanderer Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 Asked an ex-colleague from my woundcare days. He agrees with kent. Reckons that’s after a rebuild of his nose and his jaw is misaligned and his right cheek apparently shows signs of injury. Looks basically like the car has flipped and his face has smashed/scraped into the ground at speed. Miracle he’s back doing stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ErnestTurnip Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 Has it been said if he suffered any long term brain injuries in the crash? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not read anything but some of the photos make him look ‘a bit simple’. Saying that, heard a few interviews with current set-up and they say its been amazing having him involved. Can only presume he’s actually coaching which would be tough with brain damage. From a news report 2 days ago…. “it has already been suggested that the father of four wasn't wearing a safety helmet during the incident, a source has now told them that Freddie’s telling final words before the smash were “Do I need a helmet?” Edited September 21, 2023 by Smiley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually feel quite relieved watching that, he does look and sound like his old self. Could that have been filmed a few days ago? Looks like Trent Bridge that but I thought they were in India now!

Yeah me too, I feared the worst after those photos emerged so I am now wondering the press just picked out (paid for) the worst possible pictures for their editorial pieces.

Same here. I suppose that wouldn't be a surprise, perhaps he'd very recently had some more surgery just before they were taken or something but anyway its good to see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrickyTrotter Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 (edited) Big compo deal agreed apparently. £9m quoted in this article. A lot of money but sounds like he's been through a lot and has "life altering" injuries. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-67107708 Edited October 13, 2023 by TrickyTrotter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred Dibnah’s risk assessment was whether to take his butties up the chimney with him or not. Soft as shite these days.

Eg, was Flintoff refusing to wear it, or took it off? Of course if he refused, then he shouldn't have been allowed to continue, but it is possible he took just drove anyway. We just don't know exactly what happened. Not heard of HSE taking any action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
