| GIVEN INJURIES LIKE 'CAR CRASH' | | Posted Tuesday, September 19, 2006 3:14:51 PM by Blog57 Team | | Surgeons told Newcastle boss Glenn Roeder on Sunday that Shay Given's injuries were similar to those caused by the impact of traffic accidents. Given, the 30-year-old Republic of Ireland international, will spend several days at a London hospital after undergoing surgery to repair a one-centimetre tear in his bowel following a clash with West Ham striker Marlon Harewood on Sunday. Roeder, who absolved Harewood of blame, said: "The surgeon said he has never seen an injury like this happen through football. "He has seen it happen in car crashes where there has been impact, and I suppose that is what has caused it this time.

He's been plagued by a disk injury, a pulled muscle and nerve damage in his back, as well as a hand injury. "It's one of those things," he said. After all those setbacks, James finally appears to be healthy at this week's U.S. Senior Open. The 52-year-old Ilkley, England, resident shot a 2-under-par 68 in Thursday's first round and a 1-under 69 in Friday's second round at Prairie Dunes Country Club. That gives James a two-round total of 3-under 137, putting him in a four-way tie for second place, just one stroke behind the leader, Tom Watson. .... | |
