I've heard it mentioned somewhere, possibly on here, that Moz was involved in a car crash and is suffering from whiplash/neck injury relating to this, apparently the third party that crashed into Moz was a car full of youths who scarpered after the crash

If I crashed my car into Moz I'd scarper. I've got visions of him chasing them all the way down the M62.

Seems to be the only guy that's not allowed to be injured in our team.

Section 4, parra 6, line 8 of Moz's contract states quite clearly..

" The player mentioned above hereby agrees never to get injured and will be available for all contracted matches"


To be serious though, Moz is not the player he was 2-3 years ago. He was arguably the best forward of his generation in the English game and in addition to his on-field play, must have done an enormous amount behind the scenes to help our juniors, and the club grow and gain success. But he is very close to retirement, and I really wonder if he will be here next year, or if perhaps he will be in Oz ?

He has definitely been missed during his injury, but this will also have had a benefit in that others will have had to step up and play a leadership role. Also it allows space for the 'squad' players and upcoming juniors to get a game, so it's not all bad news. Lets hope we can win one of the major trophies this year to give him a fitting reward, wherever he ends up in 2012.

Don't think this post is saying he's not allowed to be injured, nor questioning previous performances, I think Padders just wanted to know further details. It's pretty common for a fan to want to know as much details as possible regarding key aspects of the club.

TS mentioned last week that both Moz and Monas were close to full fitness and he considered including them in the squad for Catalan. Maybe a smoke screen but perhaps we may see one/both of them next weekend.
There was a short interview with Stephan Ratchford in LE yesterday who says he could be back for the beginning of June.
