Very nasty injury, it really left me feeling shocked to the core, very best wishes Chev, you showed amazing bravery and to clap as you were being carried off.

What a first class tough cookie you really are sir, very best wishes and hope for a good recovery for you, all Rugby League is thinking of you.

Hope you have a speedy recovery Chev

as just discovered the film footloose and likes the sound of it HA HA jokes cried! can i just say thanks for all your messages of support and let you all know that they will help me get over this sprained ankle no really the support shown cements the reason i play this game thanks once more i'm only a skip a hop and a bloody big jump away from my next game


I am sure it applies to the message forums comments too.

I would like to wish Chev all the best for a speedy recovery,

I sincerly hope that this injury doesn't end Chev's career, he's still got plenty to your club and to RL

I'm pleased that he got a fantastic response from the Leeds crowd last night when he was stretchered off, it was very touching

Met Chev a couple of times in my professional life, and he is a hard b'stard.
Listening to Radio Humberside (and Radio Leeds) at work last night gave me some idea of how bad the injury was, but it was only on watching it back on SSN at some ungodly hour this morning that I saw how appaling it looked.

Hope he gets the best treatment possible, and has the best possible recovery. The reaction of the Leeds fans (and the much maligned Keith Senior) has shown how great our game can be at times, and I hope that everyone can take some heart from this.

As a player, I'm sure I'd be screaming my head off at this sort of injury, so to stay as composed as he did, even in so much pain, is a testament to his mental fortitude.

Get well soon Chev.

Doncaster fan, Shorpe RLFC player.

I've just seen the photo of his leg in the one of the national newspapers. Absolutely horrible injury, i wish him all the best and a speedy recovery and he's able to play rugby again to his full potential

I hope you make a quick recovery Chev.

to be perfectly honest cock'eads comment wasn't particularly necessary either

Much has changed in RL in the past 15 years; mostly to the detriment of the game in my view. And to RL's sense of self and family.
Yet that pales into insignificance when you see the dreadful injury suffered by one of our own, Chev Walker, last night. This is a time when, no matter your club (I am a Widnes supporter), we come together.
Best wishes to Chev Walker. May you have the speediest of recoveries, fella.

Is that the rest of the thread where decent Hull FC fans express their disgust at your post?

hope every thing went well in his operation today.

speedy recovery

At first I thought Chev had been knocked out as I couldn't see him move at all from the West stand. When news came back of what had happened I couldn't believe how brave he was!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope Chev makes a speedy recovery and that we see him in a Rovers' shirt again as soon as possible!!!! Best wishes going out to you Chev!!!!!

and he still held onto the ball when he was down.
