I certainly wouldn't put Owen,Redknapp, or Kewell as injury prone / or sick notes,in a category of perhaps wear and tear taking it's toll towards the end of their careers maybe !

Yeah that Prick who played for Spurs who made enough money to be able to retire at the age of 28, yep, real prick he was, what age did you retire at by the way ?

Bit off the mark there with Ledley. His was the same injury, chronic swelling of the knee after every game from the same original injury.

If anything, it was remarkable that he was ever able to play as much as he did.

We'd still rather have him in our back four now!!

Danny Rose. And thats not a bad shout mate.

Obviously you were not suggesting Gascoigne were you? If so, i don't think ligament damage should be labelled in the sick note category.

I would never call Gascoigne a &lt;deleted&gt;.

[carmine]

I think this thread needs to decide how sick note is defined because in my book its someone that continually succumbed to a number of different injuries rather than one chronic injury that defined the remainder of their career

[alfieconn]

Wouldn't even put Kaka in that category, averaged 38 games a season over 15 seasons, the OP has done quite well in his pick

[alfieconn]

Wiltshire maybe ?

owen, redknapp and kewell are probably the three biggest sicknotes any liverpool supporter would name. consistently injured throughout their careers, usually came back from one injury only to break down again in their first game back etc. owen's hamstrings were forever going ping over the course of his entire time with us. he ended up having to get lower back treatment from that dr hans muller-wohlfahrt bloke to try and sort it out.

actually throw vladimir smicer into that list too.

Diaby's had more injuries than I've had dumps.

But Rosicky isn't far behind him for taking time off.

Kewell for one wasn't consistently injured throughout his career, in fact from being a regular in season 1997/1998 for Leeds until he left he played an average of 40 games per season(239 appearences) ! just because he had injuries at Liverpool doesn't make him injury prone at every other club and I gather the OP meant across a players entire career not just playing for you lot !

Owen, from breaking into the team in the 1997/1998 season averaged 42 games per season, which is more than Fowler and I guess many other well known players of whom you havn't mentioned.

Even Redknapp in his first 8 seasons for you averaged 36 games per season which is on a par with Fowler !

Who cares if he's a sick note when he was winning the Ballon D'Or. You need consistency over a year to win that not a momentary flash of genius

A serial sicknote is the Brazilian player, Ganso who could have been one of the best players in the world but is continuously crocked. Socrates rated him better than Neymar a few years ago.

Harry Kewell had a football career that was blighted by injury He finished playing for Leeds at the age of 24 and the rest of his career was ravaged with consistent injury!

[redrus]

Many of them, in my eyes, especially Owen, played far too much when young, hence why they ended up sick notes.

Giggs hams were always prone, either down to doing Yoga and/or Fergie's reticence to play him quite as much at an early age, aided him to play up until last year.

A sick note to me, is someone who is consistently on the treatment table, regardless of the injury. Whether it's the same or not. Ledley King to me, is still a sick note, though absolutely a good player.

Make up your mind !!

Well he made 515 appearences senior so he's career wasn't blighted that much ! For your mob he played 90 times in 2 consecutive seasons so probably not a lot injuries there, in fact he played 275 games after leaving Leeds !!!

To be fair Bob,a lot of players have consistant injuries it's part and parcel of the profession but I don't think that classifies them as sick notes or injury prone.

In fact he averaged more games per season over his career than Fowler, would you classify him as injury prone ?

You havn't read what I said earlier have you, "just because he had injuries at Liverpool doesn't make him injury prone at every other club and I gather the OP meant across a players entire career not just playing for you lot !"

Anyway strange you only mention the 93 games in the league for Liverpool and not the 138 appearances he made in all comps or don't they count ? which changes it a bit ! anyway you said Harry Kewell had a football career that was blighted by injury so was Liverpool the only team he played for in his career ? like iv'e already told you, he averaged 40 games per season for Leeds for 6 seasons.

I think being a less than likeable person didn't help Kewell's cause either. Seems universally disliked, for one reason and another.

Yep iv'e just found one, from the Guardian, June 2010

With another World Cup on the horizon, Kewell has left Liverpool, his family and most of his injury problems behind and begun a new life in Istanbul, playing for Galatasaray where, at 31, he is in the goalscoring form of his life. In five years at Liverpool, he played only 93 league games and scored 12 goals, seven of which came in his first four months. He averaged one goal a season after that glorious start. Now Kewell is a player reborn, scoring at a rate of almost a goal every other game. Granted, Turkish Super Lig defences are not as tough as those in the Premier League. But, at the time of writing, Kewell has scored 27 times in 64 appearances over the past two seasons.

Perhaps something else you didn't know,

What is now confirmed is that Kewell has autoimmune hepatitis, and he only found out when he went for a routine medical in order to get a home loan.

Doctors are not sure what causes the condition. Kewell is reluctant to speak about it, which has only served to pique interest. "If I went into full detail people would be amazed," he says. "In time people will know the truth. I will tell my side of the story properly when the time is right." That time is not now, evidently.

Autoimmune hepatitis is an extremely rare condition. The body's immune system attacks liver cells it should be protecting, and the consequences can be serious. The condition may have caused Kewell's immune system to break down, making him more susceptible to injuries and slower to recover. Kewell now manages his health successfully: he is careful about what he eats and drinks.
