Tom Bender

Gone main board with this due to the nature of appears to be a very serious injury.

Tonights jpt game between Accy and Tranmere was abandoned after 39 minutes after young welsh international player on loan from Cholchester Tom Bender sustained what at first was suspected to be a broken neck.

Tom Bender recieved 30 minutes treatment on pitch to stabilise him before being taken to hospital, hopefully you will join me in wishing this lad well and lets hope it turns out not to be as seriuos as first thought, for a young lad with such a promising career ahead of him.

Not a broken neck as first feared, he is fully conscious in hospital, it was very serious concussion. Hopefully he'll be back playing again ASAP

Edit - sorry forever didnt see your link

Thank god it wasn't a broken neck, still must have shaken him up completely, hope the lad makes a full recovery very soon.

Confirmed nature of his injury this morning on the radio. Really glad it isn't as bad as first thought. Hope he makes a complete recovery.

Yeah second that oxgull. Must have looked pretty bad for the game to have been abandoned so good to hear its not as serious as first thought.
