As a relevant aside, we used to send players (eg Gardner) to a top sports injury clinic in the USA. I haven't seen that mentioned recently. How/where are we getting our injured players 'repaired' these days ?

That's Richard Steadman

 

He is / was a pioneer in ACL reconstruction / recovery

 

I'm not even sure if that's what Holden had

Original injury was a hairline fracture of the condyle (a round bump on the bone near the knee joint) according to this report.

We've not had a particularly good record with players with knee knack of late. Sean Davis, Vaz Te, O'Brien and now Holden have all been on the brink of a come back only to break down and have another long spell out. Also interesting to see that O'Brien has managed more games this season at West Ham than in his last few at Bolton including reserve games. It does raise a few questions as to where we are sending our players for rehab. We don't seem to have as good a record since Allardyce and his team of back room NASA scientists buggered off.

Something is definately up, Sean Davis has been out for over 2 years!!!

maybe in these difficult times, weve binned off bupa and were relying on the nhs.

Yes very good point Homer mate, they should at least hold on to Hospital Saturday...............

It turns out that the pin they put in his knee to support the original fracture had shifted slightly during the Villa game causing damage to the cartlidge. Nothing to do with our medical staff misdiagnosing the original injury, or the surgeons failing to operate on the cartlidge (which wasn't damaged) at the time. Just one of things.

No source just his history of recovery's

John McGovern was on Talksport yesterday morning talking about his career. He mentioned that when he was managing Bolton, Warren Joyce used to rub whiskey into his legs before each game instead of liniment but the club put a stop to it because it was costing them ?6 a bottle! Apparently he did it in the belief that it would strengthen his bones. Perhaps Holden's missing a trick there.

Holden sighting - October 23, 2011 - Robertson Stadium, Houston, Texas.

 

Last regular season game at Robertson before we move into our new stadium next year.

I watched 10 minutes of that last night.

 

It was almost as bad as watching Bolton.

He gets better every week and hes not even in the country.
