On Tuesday 2nd April 2024 our away trip to Moneyfields FC had an incredibly unfortunate incident where our Ryan got severely injured after tripping into the surrounding fence face-first.

At the time it was difficult to understand the severity of the injury, but after weeks of waiting to learn the outcome it was discovered that Ryan needs 2 x teeth extracting, a bone graft as it’s completely fractured at the root, as well as temporary bridge fitting and 2 x implants. Overall this is a long process, without 100% confidence that it will allow him to get back to where he was before.

Now unfortunately Ryan is in a position where he is facing a ~£7,000 bill to have all of this essential work carried out. His quality of life has changed overnight where the simple daily tasks of eating and sleeping are affected.

You may have noticed how quiet he has been over the last 2 games in the Gold Cup where he’s had a specially fitted gum shield made to be able to protect himself, but still with 6-7 weeks gone from the date of the incident, life isn’t the same at all.

(Also, the fact he wanted to play through this issue shows how much he wants to do his best for the club too).

We are hoping that you can join our efforts as a club and offer your support to get Ryan the financial backing he needs to complete the essential work, so he can get back to living his life without pain.

We believe that NO-ONE should be volunteering their time to represent a local football club and have to suffer because of one single accidental moment.

Thank you.
