For those who remember and are interested. After a bad tackle snapped my son's Tibia 10 days ago, me flying back to Aus early, he underwent surgery where they hammered a 30cm titanium rod into his Tibia via his knee (I never knew they did that) .
He's recovering well. His team won the Final on Sunday where he was honoured with a "Player of the Season" award which he received in a wheel chair.
Not too proud to say that I, and others, shed a few tears.
{Ed001's Note - so pleased for you mate. I hope his recovery goes well and he is back playing quickly. And congrats on the award.}

A certain Steven Gerrard had a pretty rough start in his youth career, after his op he seemed to be just fine, and it never turned out too bad for Liverpool either.
