Tilt 12 Posted April 3, 2004 Ok so don''t shout at me if this has been covered before - I''ve been out of the country! Anyway, I heard that he has been playing with a fractured rib for 2-3 weeks and simply taking something for the pain. If this is true the man''s even more of a hero. Could someone fill me in with the details? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mouse 0 Posted April 3, 2004 Yeah he has well, that''s according to reports. We only found out about it today. He must be in pain, but to get player of the month for the first division with a broken rib is pretty good going don''t you think? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jon francis 0 Posted April 3, 2004 Not criticising hucks by any means i love the man!! But just to say although he has been od i think that the last few games have been his quietist for the club and was quite surprised to see him get player of the month to be fair!!

AJ 1,358 Posted April 4, 2004 Niel Adams was talking about having 5-6 injections before a gameOUCHi dont think i could take the painShows how he loves the club dont u think? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mouse 0 Posted April 4, 2004 Yeah got to agree Jon. It must have really hurt though. The PFA may have known that he had a broken rib though and given it to him because he has played well with it. I mean we know it''s not his best but he has got an excuse don''t you think? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yellerbird 0 Posted April 4, 2004 not to be picky but the PFA award was voted by the fans, so it''s us lot that have given it to him. For us to see him as our player of the month even before knowing about his broken rib shows how much effort and dedication the boy must have been putting in recently. Let''s all vote to get him player of the year!!! go to the PFA site to vote for him!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Canary Tyke 0 Posted April 5, 2004 If he has been playing with a broken rib then that explains quite a lot over the past couple of weeks. I have posted that I thought he was off form and putting too much pressure on himself........ Darren I''m sorry, but you should of told us the truth. Considering you had a broken rib you were superb Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cantley 0 Posted April 5, 2004 If you think about it, Melbourne, he couldn''t really let on about his injury, or opposition defenders would have really targetted him. Law of the jungle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
