Ibrahimovic

A lot of youth academies treat their players like sh.t - guys clearly needing scans that don't get them because the club policies pay for fixed scans per month and they are reserved for the first team if 'there's a lot going on'.

37 is young to have a condition like that, that sucks. Will it cause you a lot of grief or is it quite manageable?

Honestly I've had problems with my knee every since and it just feels normal now. I just get on with it. For 20 years my locked and was painful for a couple of minutes after I 'clicked' my knee straight myself. Recently I wasn't able to do this and the pain lasts maybe half an hour, with me not being able to put much pressure on it, then it's back to 'normal'. I'm guessing the length of time will increase as I get older and I'm already having pain in my other knee and one of my elbows and shoulder. 37 going on 80

Ah man that really sucks, sounds like something that goes from annoying to somewhat debilitating. Hope they’ve got something that can help with that.

We also don't want a repeat of the 50s & 60s players living on corticosteroids and end up walking like Douglas Bader.

I wasn't offered anything, I think because I went to the hospital straight away and they sent me home with painkillers. I guess they then decided not to get involved or maybe because I wasn't first team as the guy I spoke about earlier had an operation privately through the same club when he was in the first team squad.

I think mine was a worse injury than his also. He was a goalkeeper, now a coach and did his simply rushing out to clear the ball. I did mine going in for a loose ball and we both went in strongly, with me getting the ball, putting him up in the air, only for him to come crashing down on top of my upper leg, whilst my leg got caught basically behind my back. Fuсker was about 18 stone too

Yup, all about the first team. My lad made the reserves and they were boasting about the private health when he signed but didn't trust them and kept his own private going. Thankfully never needed it. Same with physios - they'd all tell him something different. Found our own guy and trusted him.

He went to the US to play college soccer and its all private. Did his ankle bad last season thought it was a break, straight off the training pitch into x-ray and when he needed an MRI no fcking about got it done same day. All private but all paid for. Still came home and went back to his trusted physio Many many pros have their own physios, fitness trainers and the like.

The point gets made a lot about that trophy, it’s a bit of tin, I’m not sure why culer or anyone would care?!
