The only one I can think of that got badly injured that wasn't a top level player for us was Tierney. People saying its part and parcel of the game, I can only recall it happening to Jeff Chandler and Simon Coleman in the 80s/90s, it seems to have become common in the last 10 or 15 years, I could be wrong. Mark came braking is leg in the 80s when he was our best defender put him out for a year . Before my time but told Gary Jones was a big prospect double brake I think against Blackpool Edited August 11, 2020 by Farnywhite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said that earlier turns out the injury wasn’t a challenge by all accounts but there were a few challenges flying in later in the game which could of been nasty . coyle got slated for playing non league Newport when we were prem and chungy got done these would be Sunday league Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Week long training camp at Loughborough Uni, which has a centre for Elite Athletes. Was probably in the conditions of us training there that we'd give them a game. It's not like we've played a bunch of pub players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farrelli Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 I'd imagine L2 is going to be a physical environment so we have to be prepared. It's just shit luck and we have had way more than our fair share in the last ten years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arguably that was the first in recent times of one of our "star" players having a big chunk of his time with us ruined by injury. I'm convinced we've had more than our fair share of bad luck with injuries to top players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marple whites Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 We have had little or No luck for a long time (apart from forest) I just hope it’s only a few weeks. just when things were staring to look up. cant really blame the opposition when no one involved Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before my time but told Gary Jones was a big prospect double brake I think against Blackpool No disrespect to Came but I think its stretching a point saying he was a top player. Good pro for 3 or 4 years for us but not one we could have sold for much of a fee and replaced by the likes of Winstanley, Crombie and Keeley. Going back to the 70s (Gary Jones) - the big one of that time was Peter Reid on Boxing Day 78. That probably cost us about £1mil in transfer fee.

Definitely peter Reid was ear marked for Arsenal for a million then went to Everton the team he broke is leg against for a tribunal fee . might be my memory playing tricks but from when Mark came broke is leg at Chester away it set us back and was a big blow at the time when we were on our arse but shit happens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 I thought we had agreed a fee with Everton, who picked him up for a song later? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farnywhite Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 (edited) Yes 13 minutes ago, boltondiver said: I thought we had agreed a fee with Everton, who picked him up for a song later? Yes that would be right thinking about it . I think he turned Arsenal down because we sacked Ian greaves and they offered more than the original Everton offer of 600k nearer to the million them when he was fit we ending up going to tribunal and getting 60k . I know when he was out of contract he ending up training at Wigan athletic for a while a guy I work with was at Wigan think they were non league or just got into the league back then Edited August 11, 2020 by Farnywhite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Built like a tank. If he’s got an end product then I don’t see how he gets stopped and will defo Ned up at one of the bigger clubs. although summat tells me he was at Barcelona but I could be talking shit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
