HOCKEYMYHERO 0 Posted July 28, 2009 Former loanee Mathew Bates has his football carreer hanging by the thread after damaging his cruciat ligament for the FORTH time .He was always a player who gave 100% effort [something not all our imports can say ] and my best wishes go out to him with his battles ahead .In a poor season when Middlesborough got relegated he played some of his best football and bigger clubs were keen to move in for him then this happens .

O.T.B.C 0 Posted July 28, 2009 By all accounts he played well at the end of the season and was a wanted man this summer. Shame, hope he comes back ok, doubt he will though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
