Ex Spur thread

He made a statement about his ongoing injury problems and the pain involved.
Had to have surgery on both his hips when he was 25 or his career would be over.
He was taking ever-increasing amounts of pain-killers and it was getting worse.

I hope that he can take things a little easier now and start to recover.
Sounds quite nightmarish, to be honest.

Hugo with a point blank save in the 87th minute to keep a clean sheet and Sonny bagging an assist to kill the game off at 2-0 in the 94th minute.

Eric Dier getting a goal on his Ligue 1 debut for Monaco, too

 

Was it a last minute winner against a team that hate Monaco?

 

Second goal in a 3-1 win over Le Havre, so...no

 

"Being in pain, playing and training through discomfort became normal. For 5 years now, I've been taking pills every game to be in better condition, starting with the lowest dose and recently taking the maximum dose to be able to play. I decided to put an end to this." - Erik Lamela

 

Big shame to hear that.

And a very sensible decision. There is a fine line between the highest possible dose and lifelong addiction.
