Horwich FC, the stadium is in a stupid place.

Just heard from a mate who works at the hospital Smith is in, the break is really bad, he's shattered the ankle joint and there is a 50/50 chance they may have to amputate due to the complexity of the dislocation and break, definately looks like his career is over, best wishes to Alan and his family.
i'm just passing on what i hear first hand, this is the situation, the x-ray showed how bad the beak is, and seriously it sounds like his ankle joint is virtually splinters of bone, now, if they open it up there is a very serious chance of not being able to garuntee it not to get infected. Basically they are preparing for the worst which you have to in this situation, personally i think he'll be fine but the break in his leg prevents any reconstructive plates and bolts being put in until that is healed. Every time the area is re-opened within the first 6 weeks there is a massive risk of infecting that area and without a fully working joint the blood flow is restricted, oh i'll shut up now, my bet is that he'll be back by XMAS, good luck Al!!!!!
Also two quotes from the bbc message board which gives you an idea of how bad a break it is, doesnt sound good:

Having seen the replay on TV it looks fairly innocuous, though without doubt a nasty injury. If it is as bad as that guy was saying then it's severe bad luck, if he's making it up he is quite frankly the lowest of the low and should be ashamed of himself.

I havnt seen footage (link anyone?), but it sounds v.bad.
Was it a tackle that caused it, or something else, the 'reports' arnt clear on it.
Good luck to him. Ive allways been a fan of the lad.
