The Welsh Groin Problem
Here's one of the interesting results that came out of my search for all things Charlton this morning - Mr Diesel has been busy. Click on the title above to find out who's been tapping him up for info...
Having worked in medical publishing for a while, including on a journal called British Journal of Sports Medicine, I know that a large number of studies take place amongst (usually Premiership) football clubs. The respondents have to remain anonymous, but I've always wondered when reading about this club or that who had this set of injury problems or that whether Charlton were indeed the club (or one the clubs) involved If you read a set of stats that say, for instance, that players at a club had a cigar burn to the eye in season 2003/4, or a non-malignant tumour behind the nose in 2004/5, then I guess that narrows the field down quite a bit.
BJSM is actually quite a good read, especially if it has footie articles, and the ex-editor was a really nice (Northern) Irishman who the girls all fancied rotten!
