Everything is okay and we don't have to talk about this any more."I am very thankful for our doc (club medic Andy Massey) because he said we should go to hospital -- I was not too sure -- and the surgeon was great, a season ticket-holder who told me we both didn't want to see the game, I had the best nurses and everything was okay." AFP
