Which game was it against? I remember being there but can't recall who it was against. Ar first I thought it was Mansfield away but then remembered that was Simon Webster who broke his leg badly in an early FA Cup tie at Field Mill (drew 1-1). I was at that one too on the ancient terracing behind the goal.
I was on the dugouts on the halfway line & it sounded like someone snapping a piece of 2x2 over their knee, he came into Homebase at Woodseats a couple of weeks later where I worked & showed me the metal work round his leg,it was a real mess
 
Terry Kennedy would have done well I think, if not for his knee
He was seen as a better prospect than Maguire but his knees weren't up to it.

Huge potential, had Charlie Austin in his pocket in the QPR Cup game (iirc we took 3001 that day but no one cares).

Still, ended up with the euro millions raffle so it worked out OK in the end!
 
Semple was another one derailed by injury at CB he was really looking good and when Wilder first came in he was talking about integrating him into his first team plans and then he was on the receiving end of an absolute horror tackle against Leeds and his career was never the same.

He played in Scotland for a bit and the fans up there seemed to rate him, but then got involved in some betting stuff and hasn't been seen since.

Having watched a fair bit of Academy football over the years. And being a fan, rather than an analyst. I can't help but develop an affinity for certain players. Often just based on their demeanour, their style, the cut of their jib. Rather than their technique, skills, achievement.

Callum Semple was one of my affinity players. I was actually at Thorp Arch when he got clattered and picked up his injury. Six months later, I happened to be at a Junior Football Tournament. Over the far side, one on one with a physio, Callum was doing rehab. Standing, indeed balancing, on one leg. The fizz constantly throwing the ball from say three yards away. And Callum knocking it back. One leg on the ground. One leg off. For ages. And then. Switch leg. For ages. Repeat. For ages. Dedication. Pain. Etc.

One of the ones we lost. Nobody's fault. Just lost.
