Latest news on former player - Perry Burns who suffered a very bad broken leg last saturday for Leyton against Enfield - courtesy of Tony Ieovil

 

"I've seen that a few of the W Forest committee have expressed their obvious concern for Perry so I just thought I'd update you.

 

He has suffered a 'compound double fracture' of the tibula (worst bone). He was operated on Monday and has had 2 screws inserted through both the fibula and tibula which will be removed in 3 months time (approx) and also a plate with pins.

 

He is now at home resting.

 

He will be out of action for about 12 months, depending on the healing process.

bloody hell, nasty. best wishes to him.

 

I am sure all ETFC Folk will want to wish him well, I certainly do and I was not even at the game

 

[Mr Happy]

Agree. Best wishes to the lad.

I bumped into Perry on the tube this afternoon. Recovery is going well, he's started doing some jogging and hopes to resume full scale training in May.

YUK a nasty break, hope all goes well with the long road to recovery
