Whilst it is a real shame for him to pick up a major injury, is there perhaps some irony in the fact that it is the 3rd World Cup in a row in which he has thrown himself to the ground without contact from the opposition?

Looked like a sore one as soon as he slumped to the ground. Out for 5 months maybe....ouch.

I KNOW HOW HE FECKIN FEELS.  :009:

'66 revisited...

Greavsie got injured in the group stages, forcing Alf to select Geoff Hurst for the knockout stages... the rest, as they say, is history...  :016:

A real shame for the lad. He'll now be on sick pay for a good six months now... :017:

Can't really see England getting much further in this competition - there'll be tears of joy in Highlands on Sunday.  :004:

Some players just seem injury prone.

Arrogance or Optimism????

Arrogance

Aye but you still have to arrange the Russian linesman and get the games played at Wembley Yompa  :015: :015: :015: :015:

I have to say I felt a bit sorry for him.......just a little bit.
