Blue Stars Bearette 1 Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 compensation for a bad tackle thats a lot of money but it looked like he lost a great playing career it must make soldiers sick though, they get blown to bits for their country and get a few grand A former Manchester United player whose career was ended when when he was injured in a tackle has been awarded more than £4.5m in compensation. Ben Collett, 23, broke his leg in a reserve game against Middlesbrough five years ago, at the age of 18. Boro player Gary Smith and his club admitted liability for the injury. The total compensation will be decided when sums for future loss of pension and interest on past loss of earnings are determined at a hearing in October. Sitting at London's High Court, Mrs Justice Swift awarded the player £4.3m and said the final sum payable to Collett was unlikely to be less than £4.5m. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/7553678.stm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
