It would've sounded better though had you embellished the tale by instead of stating that you went up for an unchallenged header, you instead stated you were in an aerial challenge with Peter Shilton. Then the rumour would've spread that there was a serial football career terminator on the loose and parents all over the West Country would be keeping their offspring from leaping for a ball outdoors until the evil miscreant was apprehended. Re Cheesley....although that clash with Shilton damaged his cartilage (which was bad enough in those days) and was thought to be what ended his career, he later found out that he had actually fractured his kneecap at the same time, but was undiagnosed. The fitness regime of running up and down the Dolman Stand meant it never recovered and just meant his knee got worse and worse. I only ever saw him play in his testimonial. Gutted.

mozo Posted September 19, 2019 Report Share Posted September 19, 2019 Would you believe it, I bumped into Kasey Palmer and Benik Afobe today in Bargain Booze in Bedminster. Kasey was pushing Benik around in a wheelchair. I didn't want to interrupt them, but as I left the shop I glanced back and Benik was pointing at the cans of Natch and I heard him saying "I want that one!"

cityexile Posted September 19, 2019 Report Share Posted September 19, 2019 Well, it’s a real footballing set back for us, assuming true. Its a real personal set back for him.

Admin Ian M Posted September 19, 2019 Admin Report Share Posted September 19, 2019 If Afobe isn’t injured what do the club have to gain from revealing that fact? It’s not like we’d all be gutted come kick off on Saturday to find him in the starting lineup! Afobe scores.
