There are plastic pitches to contend with as well. I just think we have had a run of bad luck when it comes to injuries. The players were probably harder back then too and played through the pain barrier more. I think there's a little bit of truth in all of that , though I think we are also more cautious regarding injury now . I can remember Alan(?) McGraw using walking sticks at a relatively early age because he kept taking pain killing injections just to play every week . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMB 14,167 Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 Barker’s been getting hamstring injuries for years. I remember watching an interview where he spoke about it. He said faster players tend to be prone to this sort of injury and that he certainly was. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Older fans will remember the iconic Leeds team: Sprake Reaney Charlton Hunter Cooper Lorimer Bremner Giles Gray Clarke Jones Played together week in, week out, year after year, right? Actually that team played together only once, an FA Cup tie against Mansfield. Our perceptions of who played (and how often) don’t always match up to reality.

It's just when I think of the Rangers team back then I can't remember many long term injuries in either the 70's or 80's , but as you say , it could just be perception .

Nothing against him personally but we are a man down every time he starts for us and we cannot afford to drop the pressure in the slightest this season.

Must admit I thought that was kinda stupid but noble at the same time. It would have shortened his career.

Even last year when he was on top form he was playing through injury. The rest seem to be bad luck. A real problem is something like how Roma have had 15 ACL tears in 6 years. We clearly don't have a problem like that! Yeah i think Jack has a knee problem and needs to watch how he trains (over use type injury)- could be linked to that if he muscle imbalance i guess?
