    My son was telling me about him this morning. With all due respect to Welling (and my son is a season ticket holder so I have to say that!) the lad must think he's in paradise when he could easily have been a paraplegic instead.

    Wish the lad every success in life.

    Thought this is passion:
    "She pushed her way through staff surrounding the bed to see Mr Hughes, still in a coma but kicking an imaginary football."
    In a coma winning the bloody FA cup.

    "You never get over the fear - I know what could happen if he gets the wrong knock."

    If this is true, this isn't the time to be letting him take part in a friendly against Millwall, many many players have gone home in a F***ing ambulance playing against that lot.

    Fair play to the lad.

    Good luck to him. Makes me sick that these sort of beatings go on probably over no more than a bit of banter or a spilled pint.
