Jamie Holmes

[onewayup]

A reminder that you can still help out with Jamie's surgery, he's closing in on the amount required, a final push would help get his funding over the line. And allow the surgery to be done quickly, sooner it's done the sooner he's fit for a place in the team.

Encouraging to see the progress made by Duncan Whatmore. According to the Echo he has suffered two cruciate knee injuries that have kept him out for two years and scored both goals for Boro in last nights win over Swansea.
Of course all injuries are not the same but nonetheless provides some hope for Jamie on his long road to recovery.

Didn't Alan Shearer and Niall Quinn injure both cruciate ligaments...

Shearer at Blackburn and Newcastle and Quinn at Manchester City and Sunderland...Although I'm sure Shearer lost half a yard in his speed when he recovered, which I think was back in about 1997 or 1998

I think it was still at a time when a Cruciate Injury was a potential career ender for a footballer...

I wish Jamie Holmes all the best, while it is not good, as has been pointed out with Duncan Watmore, as bad as it sounds, doesn't necessarily spell the end of Jamies Career

I don't remember Shearer doing his cruciates, but I do remember him getting a bad ankle injury which kept him out for many months. This was perhaps a year or so after Euro 96 when he was mid 20s and approaching his absolute prime. For me, he visibly had lost a yard of pace after that one. He was never quite the same, though still was a great player.

Shearer did his cruciate in 1992.

I remember this was on Championship manager - at start of the game Shearer was out with a cruciate

I also remember Shearer being injured at the beginning of CM 1997/98 as well, sure it was cruciate

It was an ankle ligaments, not cruciate ligament that time and broken bone. https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/foo ... 53202.html

That's the one I was referring to. About a year after Euro 96. After that particular injury he had lost a yard of pace and acceleration - so it looked to me anyway. That had a noticeable effect, whereas the cruciate in 92 obviously hadn't because he was almost unplayable for a number of seasons after that up until the ankle injury - IMO anyway.

He went on to become Newcastle’s record goalscorer, so he didn’t do too badly.

But generally speaking I think you have a point, in that his style of play did seem to change a little.

He became a lot more physical to make up for the fact he was less mobile. What never changed was his right-foot and how well he struck a ball!
