Poynton ram Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Just seen an interview with Keogh and his broken hand and it got me wondering which players have played through the pain in recent years. Physical rather than in a rubbish team Admittedly we have had a few sicknotes but which players, however hard they were clattered, would always turn up?

StringerBell Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 I suspect Shaun Barker was never properly fit, but he wanted to play even if the manager wouldn't let him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Lee Grant was playing through injury, back end of I’m going to say 14/15 season? (Happy to be corrected). When you think back we had Roos twiddling his thumbs on the bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rynny Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Michael Johnson seemed to get injured every week at one point, seem to remember him clattering into the advertising boards, stretchered round to the bench with a neck brace on to then reappear on the pitch a few minutes later.

cannable Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Didn’t Seth play on for ten minutes at Wembley after his knee went before succumbing to it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamLad1884 Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 I think Sam Winnall played while having done his ACL vaguely? Gary Teale played 60 minutes with a broken finger for us too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derby blood Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Johnny Russell also played on against Leeds with a broken shin, but yes our Captain Keogh always plays through the pain barrier, a great example to how a footballer should behave, a great ambassador to this football club.

He lost about 5 or 6 teeth in that one . Then played against Forest at the weekend. 4-2 match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mucker1884 Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Not "in recent years", but I do remember Alan Biley having to hobble/hop around for a good while towards the end of a game, as we had used up our sub(s?). John Middleton (Keeper) had his dislocated finger wrenched back into place by the trainer... in the six yard box... with a close-up on telly!

He played through a broken face at one point too - Went crashing into the ad boards trying to stop a ball going out of play - Raced back onto the pitch after treatment - Found out after the game he'd fractured his cheekbone/eye socket? In my mind he also scored a header that day but that might be me over-romanticising the situation... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got smashed jumping for a header, definite yellow-worthy, not even a foul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dale The Ram Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Steven Davies header on his return from breaking his skull. I know if that was me I wouldnt be that brave. Im sure he said afterwards that he had no feeling hence the rocket header Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
