Who are the players, that you can think of, that have sp[ent tha majority of their careers ion the physios table.

Darren Anderton, obviously.
Bryan Robson - most bet shoulder and back of his generation.
Michael Owen - might be a little unfair, but recently...
Jamie Redknapp - should have just bought a new knee.

Others?

[AmadeusDC]

Most the "big names" that go to Newcastle. It's the only reason they can get them. -AmadeusDC-

Paul Gascoigne by the way.

[wayne gayle]

Duncan Ferguson. He seemed to be forever "on the comeback trail" (© Sky Sports) without ever quite getting to the end of it.

[AmadeusDC]

Ronaldo........ the original one.

-AmadeusDC-

[Forsberg]

Ryan Giggs , come international week

[Echoboy]

our very own john o flynn:(

You can say that again !! :rolleyes:

Lentini was in a car crash that screwed him up for ages wasn't he? I genuinely believe he was class with Torino and didn't play too bad for Milan when he did play eventually for a season or two.

Kirkland is a joke, always injured.

[west cork rebel]

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer

[storysham]

Harry kewell

[Loftydog]

Winsten Bogarde

[parrotbait]

Winsten Bogarde

Don't think he was actually injured that long, was just on 40k a week and training with the youths and couldn't be arsed leaving cos he was on savage money. He really displayed a genuine love for the game

700 + club appearances and 90 England caps.

Member of the English Football Hall of Fame

You havent a fucking clue.

[Rebelred]

Jonathan Woodgate made a nice effort at it for a few years

[Proinsias]

Keith O'Neill, 135 appearances in his entire professional career between 1994 and 2003. He was a fairly handy player in his first few seasons too.

[elwood blues]

Damien Duff seems to have had his fair share of "heavy colds" since he went to Newcastle.

[raZor]

there's been a few big names signed for smaller clubs and played fuck all games, they always crop up when you watch Premiership Years on sky sports.

Radeciou(sp) for West Ham although that was too much shopping according to Harry.

[Forsberg]

Andy Reid

[Edmund Blackwater]

Actually, nearly every foreign 'superstar' that Middlesboro have signed basically collected wages for doing nothing for a couple of years before going back to whatever league they came from to shine after a nice rest.

Forsberg, isn't Andy Reid just fat?

[jimmy magee]

The great Marco Van Basten-

^^^
a tragedy of the highest order

From the Guardian blogs :

A few years ago, when the languid striker Alen Boksic was reputedly pulling in £63,000 a week for putting in the odd performance for Middlesbrough, a friend of mine would accurately predict the Croatian's availability for matches simply by taking a detour past his house on the way back from work.

While the club issued medical bulletins and talked of late fitness tests my mate would shake his head. "No go for Maine Road," he'd tell me on Tuesday evening. "Super Al's bins are already out." Refuse collection day was Friday. You don't put your bins out three days in advance unless you've gone on holiday.

During his time at the Riverside a story about Boksic circulated around Teesside. In a classic Armani suit-and bovver-boots combination, the ex- Juventus star found himself partnered up front by Noel Whelan. He was not impressed. And who can blame him? Whelan was a hard worker, a bustler, but he carried all the attacking threat of Tupperware. At one point during his Boro career he had scored more goals in his own net than he had in the opposition's. Boksic may have been so slothful he appeared to be teetering permanently on the cusp of hibernation, but he had standards.

According to the story, one Monday, after a particularly inept display by the former Leeds target man, Boksic went in to see the Boro secretary. "What does Whelan earn per week?" he demanded. The secretary told him. "And how long does he have left on his contract?" The secretary told him and the striker stalked out. The next day he returned, waving a cheque.

"This is the money Whelan will earn during the rest of his time here. Give it to him now," he commanded , "and tell him to fuck off ."

:lol:
O'Shea is lucky Boksic never went to manyoo.

Matt Jansen

harsh, he almost killed himself in that scooter accident in Italy.

If that's true it's one of the funniest things I have heard. Poor Noel. -AmadeusDC-

[M&M]

Harry kewell

It's all bluff!!



I think John O'Flynn definitely has to be up there with the best of them. That boy seems to be constantly injured!

[Sharkey]

Ledley King - managed at least 30 league appearances in only 2 of the last 6 seasons (including this one, only 16 so far). Hope it doesn't get worse for him, Spurs need him.
