INJURY HEARTACHE FOR ABS

Mark's injury problems continue after damaging his knee ligaments playing football on Monday, the veteran midfield player is now on crutches and not knowing when or if he will return to the game he loves.

In an exclusive interview today Mark was in typical buoyant mood by saying 'there are two people who cannot walk in our house now' (making a reference to his baby son Ben). Mark now faces an anxious wait to see if his knee needs surgery.

This is another huge blow for the talented player, who was said to be the best ever left footed player to come out of Eastleigh Tech. He has been dogged by injury ever since breaking his femur as a youngster and has constantly been troubled by an Achilles injury. Speaking to a sports physio today he raised concerns about whether Mark would be able to play the beautiful game again and suggested that he may be better off joining Chippie's tiddlywink team.

At least Mark can relax now and enjoy the Saints playing sexy football.........NOT!
