Tom Bender - Accrington Stanley (broken neck?)

[Royal Rother]

Game tonight held up for 20 minutes whilst he received treatment on the pitch after a collision.

Suspected broken neck.

Game now abandoned.

Fingers crossed for the lad.

[RoyalJames101]

Hope he can make a full recovery.

[leww_rfc]

Hope the lads alright, awful news!

[Ian Royal]

Ouch! Hope it's something he can successfully get over or get around.

[PEARCEY]

It could not only end his career but leave him in a wheelchair for life or and fingers crossed he can make a full recovery and continue with his career. Given the game has been abandoned you have to fear for his future. Bless him he's only 18 and a member of the Wales u 21's and right at the start of his career.

[Toon Toon Blue army]

Sad to hear, hope he recovers.

The #twitter92 lot want to organise a bucket for Bender.



I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE

That's why i don't follow prats like that on Twitter.

[floyd__streete]

This is terrible news. I loved him in Futurama.

[leww_rfc]

Reports on twitter, he is conscious and in a stable condition.

Also shame on the mirror for putting a picture of the incident straight up!

[Fluff]

Just on SSN, he's been given the all clear. Just suffering from concussion.

Given the 'all clear'? It's a bump On the head not pfucking cancer

I think 'the all clear' is a reasonable description when it was first feared he'd broken his neck, tbh.

first feared or first reported incorrectly?

[Royal Rother]

Is there a difference?

Unless you had an x-ray to hand as he hit the floor, you can only have gone by the reports, shirley?

I disagree.

[Focher]

saw the incident this morning, and when the commentators joke "he's gone down like he's been shot", well in this case it really did look like he'd been shot.

Well well, these things need to be taken seriously.
Not that long ago there was a Norwegian footballer who wound up paralyzed after a similar incident.

Player before his injury: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sF7W-UpIMvM&feature=related - very skillful.

The player today:


I hardly think these kind of incidents are to be made fun of, it could happen to anyone really.
You could be riding your bicycle down the road, and boom, next thing you know there you are.

How does he see where he's going?
