Libertine Dream Posted 4 October 2011 Posted 4 October 2011 Poor chap, seems like a clive clarke moment only his second game. Medical capabilities nowadays are on his side.
I am Rod Hull Posted 4 October 2011 Posted 4 October 2011 Was watching it on SSN, they never said it was a broken neck though... Poor kid. Best wishes...
Father Ted Posted 4 October 2011 Posted 4 October 2011 Awful. ' Tuesday night's Johnstone's Paint Trophy second-round clash between Accrington and Tranmere was abandoned following a serious injury to Accrington defender Tom Bender. The on-loan Colchester man was caught in a collision in the area between Stanley goalkeeper Ian Dunbavin and Tranmere's Lucas Akin in the 38th minute. He was unconscious and was treated on the pitch for 30 minutes with oxygen and was on a drip before he left in an ambulance.'
Trav Le Bleu Posted 4 October 2011 Posted 4 October 2011 Where's Bert Trautmann when you need him? Seriously though, ouch! Hope it's something he will recover from.
ramboacdc Posted 4 October 2011 Posted 4 October 2011 only suspected broken neck at the moment. fingers crossed he makes a full recovery from the injury. even if he cant play football again at that level i just hope the poor chap can at least still walk.

Alexikokopops Posted 4 October 2011 Posted 4 October 2011 only? I think it should have read: Only suspected broken neck at the moment...
ramboacdc Posted 4 October 2011 Posted 4 October 2011 only? I think it should have read: Only suspected broken neck at the moment... what alex said. an old friend of mine did it playing rugby. not nice.
whitlock Posted 4 October 2011 Posted 4 October 2011 At the risk of sounding thick.... With a broken neck, does it disfigure the body at all? Such as a broken ankle would?
Bugg Posted 4 October 2011 Posted 4 October 2011 At the risk of sounding thick.... With a broken neck, does it disfigure the body at all? Such as a broken ankle would? I think it depends on whether it affects the spinal cord or not.
whitlock Posted 4 October 2011 Posted 4 October 2011 I think it depends on whether it affects the spinal cord or not. Cool, wish the lad some luck.
cambridgefox Posted 4 October 2011 Posted 4 October 2011 Terrible news if correct,lad just getting started with his dream job ,probably not on a large wage while coonts like Tevez on mega bucks cant be arsed to play with his billy big bollocks attitude.Should have a look at himself and put things in perspective.Really hope he makes a swift recovery and gets back in the game.
ramboacdc Posted 4 October 2011 Posted 4 October 2011 At the risk of sounding thick.... With a broken neck, does it disfigure the body at all? Such as a broken ankle would? well if your risking sounding thick with that question im going to sound retarded............a broken ankle disfigures your body?
whitlock Posted 4 October 2011 Posted 4 October 2011 Come off it mate you know what I mean, leg, foot pointing in the wrong direction.
ramboacdc Posted 4 October 2011 Posted 4 October 2011 Come off it mate you know what I mean, leg, foot pointing in the wrong direction. i thought you meant it left a scar or a lump or something. hand on heart i had no clue what you meant.
whitlock Posted 4 October 2011 Posted 4 October 2011 i thought you meant it left a scar or a lump or something. hand on heart i had no clue what you meant. Fair do's mert.
ScouseFox Posted 4 October 2011 Posted 4 October 2011 Sitting up and chatting in hospital, being kept in overnight for observations etc. Hope he recovers fully and is able to play again.
Alexikokopops Posted 4 October 2011 Posted 4 October 2011 i thought you meant it left a scar or a lump or something. hand on heart i had no clue what you meant. I'm glad I wasn't the only one
Fox92 Posted 5 October 2011 Posted 5 October 2011 I was wathching Sky Sports and saw this news. Just said, 'serious injury' though, but he's broke his neck! Best of wishes and luck to him.
Fox92 Posted 5 October 2011 Posted 5 October 2011 It's been confirmed as just a bad concussion Saw that on Sky Sports News as well. Says he should be ok.
OriginalRobboFOX Posted 5 October 2011 Posted 5 October 2011 This is obviously going to replayed and the Accrington boss has said he'll agree to let Tranmere score from kick off. Now...... can you remember how you felt 2nd time round at the City Ground when Paul Smith trotted down the pitch and bagged after the Clive Clarke episode? Yeah you were gutted you'd not known about the agreement and had a monkey on Paul Smith first g/scorer. The smart money is on fon Williams (Tranmeres No. 1) to be allowed to knock one in from kick off so remember to get your cash lumped on as the return will be large.
