Greenwich Blade Out For The Season

Sorry Greenwich but I couldn’t help but laugh at your predicament as you described it!! Genuinely wish you a speedy recovery. Been thinking of something for you to listen to to pass the time as you’re laid up. I recommend “Thick As A Brick” ;) :)
 



Hope you are ok. Maybe treat it as a lesson and a warning. Hitching a lift is a dangerous game so think about your (date I say it) health and safety.

Take it easy mate.
 
Get well soon Greenwich - at least in the short term you'll be able to watch us on a dodgy stream from your bedridden position so if you are going to do it - this season was a good one to choose.

I thought that - unfortunate name for a hospital no?
 
Part timer.
Once you'd got the gas and air, you could've made it up to Sheff. The freezing cold would have kept it numb during the game. Then hobble to Northern General.
Some people.want spoon feeding.

;)
Get well soon mate, a credit to Blades spirit.
Like others said, get fit for your European Blades hitching tour!
 
Only met you once but heard a couple of your stories you’ve certainly been around the block.
Get well soon Adrian.
 
Mate - another chapter for another book, perhaps! Life is never dull for you is it?

Get well soon Greenwich.

Up the Blades!

pommpey
 
That’s awful Adrian hope it’s one of those incidents that become funny later on.
Wish you a full and quick recovery.
 
Sorry for your terrible mis-fortune Adrian. I Hope your injury is not too painful and you will soon be on the road to recovery.

One silver lining, springs to mind. If you need a carer/minder for the wheelchair bay at games one lucky forum friend can accompany for free. :D

Maybe something good can come from this sorry affair?

Well, that’s just bloody rubbish news. Just as we’re about to hit a run of suspensions to other key players too. Attn Wilder and Bog Roll—cover for prog rock DJ required during the JTW.

Stay positive, enjoy the medication, and get thee fit for the Cup Final, Greenwich Blade
 
You daft sod, it is a funny story though. You’ll have a good chapter in your next book out of it, has anyone asked for your season ticket yet?
Seriously, I hope you’re on the mend sooner rather than later and hope you recover enough to get to see The Blades again before too long.

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.

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.

You should see the live links I did on Facebook. For a man in agony in a bramble bush, I was remarkably chipper!

Always makes me smirk that. You can imagine a little old lady saying to her neighbour, "Well, I'm off to St Peter's now, luv."

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.

They know me very well also. As I was being wheeled down a corridor today I suddenly noticed a familiar face looking down at me. In the second before we passed I realised it was Linda from Physio so I stupidly raised the arm that was full of IVFs to wave behind me and went, "Hello! I'll be back to see you in Physio soon. I've really knackered me knee this time. I've ruptured me... (couldn't remember the word"quadriceps")... wotsits!"

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.

I probably still will though, knowing me. I thought about hitching to somewhere like Prestwick Airport in order to then fly into Heathrow for the Burnley play-off final. Then, as now, I lived three miles from Heathrow so that'd be daft even by my standards. Wouldn't it?

It's not payday until Friday. Besides, it's fun. Even yesterday despite everything (and I really mean that, as those who know me well enough will concur).

I used to love hitch hiking. I'm thinking of coming out of retirement. What sort of reception do you normally get ?
