He never played top-level football again after going under the knife following a leg break in 2013.

The Cambridge-born striker had played youth football for Manchester Utd before working his way up from the lower leagues to Wolves, where he scored 64 goals in 193 appearances between 2007 and 2013. But during the operation to fix the bone, the doctor also performed an arthroscopy – a type of keyhole surgery – to his ankle. He said it was to assess a previous cartilage injury, to remove damaged tissue and perform a technique aimed at provoking new fibrocartilage growth.
“His decision to stop was the result of the continuing pain and stiffness in the left ankle joint and not because of the fracture,” says the barrister. “The combination of an inability to play regularly and/or for a reasonable length of time and his reduced standard of play gave rise to transfers from the Premier League to the lower divisions of the English Football League and eventually to non-league clubs. Following the fracture of the left fibula on the 26th January 2019, the claimant reasonably gave up playing football.
