Anyone read Paul Lake's book "I'm not really here", granted it's from a different era of football, but as someone who has had a lot of debilitating injuries I get annoyed at people telling him to retire or give up, probably has not future with us now sadly, however how many people would give up something they love, have always done, depend on for a living. There is no way he should be making any decisions about retiring until at least into the recovery from this.
Honestly don't think I have ever seen him play a minute for us, but I feel a tad heart broken for him.
