Former Players!

Tom Bender played for St Albans City against Weston-super-Mare on Saturday. He was on loan to us from Colchester in 2011/12. I wonder how many of us remember that horrendous injury he sustained in a JPT game against Tranmere which had to be abandoned. Severely concussed, he was treated on the pitch for about 30 minutes.

Was at that game, remember it well. I actually left shortly before the decision was made to abandon, as I had no stomach to continue watching what was unfolding on the field.
Shamefully, the name Bender doesn't ring a bell, perhaps memory of the occasion overtakes other facts.
Thanks for letting us know that the young man is still in the game that almost cost his life, at whatever level.
 
Yeah, but a sending off in the efl trophy only applies to that competition so he's made sure he doesn't have to play in their other group games but it won't affect his league ones, well played Toto!

So, in the next two Trophy games the entire Stanley outfield players, plus the three subs, could deliberately pick up the ball, get sent off, and leave the goalie to then kick the ref up the jacksie to secure his red card. :rolleyes:
