Greenwich Blade Out For The Season

[Greenwich Blade]

Yep, daft sod that I am my attempt to hitchhike to the game today resulted in me rupturing a quadricep in the process of coming to grief on a Motorway embankment by the M1 sliproad near Watford. I heard it snap as I slipped and went arse over tit. My prone position meant I was hidden from sight in brambles with the ambulance crew taking a whole hour to find me.

Eventually they found a very wet, cold silly twat lying in brambles still wearing his Blades Santa hat, unable to straighten his leg and in excruciating pain. They needed two ambulance crews, a police car, then the Highways Agency who closed the sliproad whilst they carted me into the ambulance, me pumped full of gas making me feel like yer average Hawkwind fan on a very good night.

I spent all afternoon in Watford General and all evening in St Peter's Hospital Chertsey after my wonderful Hull City supporting friend Michael sprung me from Watford. We had something to eat at his before the St Peter's part of the adventure.

And now they're keeping me in overnight, possibly to operate in the morning. So it's a career ending injury possibly, but as I haven't turned out for the Internet Blades in 15 years I don't think anyone will worry too much about that.

I'm already looking up Luxembourg on Google Maps.

 

[Speedracer]

That is a tough break man, hope you have a speedy recovery.

 

[Jon Bon II]

Man, I love ya but it did make me laugh, especially "My prone position meant I was hidden from sight in brambles with the ambulance crew taking a whole hour to find me."

Sorry, I meant no disrespect, it all just sounded so comical. Not so when you're dealing with the pain, I'm sure. Here's wishing you a speedy recovery. Hope all goes well with the op. Keep us posted.

 

[Caveblade]

Gutted mate, you have always been my favourite hitchhiking Blade. Can't believe you are out and hope it doesn't derail our great start to the season!

All the best.

 

[SherburnBlade]

Bell.
End?
Of hitching for a while?


Get well soon.
Merry Christmas

 

[Weasel]

Get well soon fella.

You poor bugger - surely " a bigger Blade" if ever there was one!
(and if you talk about a St Peters part of the adventure again - please stress that it's St Peters HOSPITAL!)

 

[Blade56]

Feckin ‘Limp’ excuses some people make for not going to support the mighty Blades.

seriously get well as soon as fella. At least most games can be streamed these days.

 

[Charlieblade]

Awful misadventure. Sorry to learn of your shortened season. I'm off to the pub shortly for Sunday dinner. I will drink to your speedy and painless recovery. Stay safe and keep logging in.

 

[Cerberus Blade]

Fascinating! There can't be many Blades who choose to hitch-hike to games, or end up, upside down in brambles as a result of doing so. I admire your sense of adventure and commitment to the Blades, and not least your remarkable sangfroid under the circumstances. It was an act of great courage, opting to be treated at St Peter's Hospital in Chertsey. (I know it well).

Hope you make a good recovery.

 

[ZoneManWilf]

Get well soon Adrian.

I always enjoyed your hitchhiking stories and thought maybe you’d stopped doing it because I haven’t seen any posts regarding it for a couple of years. Glad you’ve been keeping it up during our glory days but sorry to hear about yesterday’s incident. Hope you recover quickly. At least you won’t have to hitchhike to Wembley when we win the Fa cup this year.

 

[Grappler]

Get well soon Blade.

 

[Broomhall Blade]

Get well soon Blade.
Just one thing are you sure you are a real Blade ?
Only real Blades have Half & Half Scarves.
