Happened to a lad I know ... in the early 80’s he was a young lad playing local footy and got picked up by spurs ... broke his leg on his first session too. He had a good career in the semi pro northern premier I think it was called then playing for Bangor city ... played at Wembley in the fa vase final I think.. could be wrong. He also played for a local side Cemaes Bay when they were in the konica league of wales as it was then. Used to love training alongside him when I signed for the reserve side of the club at 17 years old ... learnt so much.Stuart Rimmer,made it sort of I suppose,three games for us and a bit of a ledge at Chester,played with a lad called mark fleet,outstanding midfielder,everyone thought he was nailed on for stardom,jimmy melia took him to Brighton,i think it may have been his first training session he broke his leg,never the same player again.
Mark Gray his name is.
