Duffer comeback

[Sligo Hornet]

Who is he?:confused:

[ken foree]

i would be as overjoyed as anyone if he has a quick return to form but i feel it's going to take a while. he's been out of consistent football for ages...

[RogerMilla]

he'll will be doing well to take Huntys place as supersub...

[John83]

He's a new up and coming Newcastle winger, they're touting him as the next Alan O Brien!
Nah; I've seen him play, and he hasn't a fraction of the pace O'Brien does. He'll never amount to anything.

Speaking of Alan O Brien he is not getting his game at Hibs. Being very frustrated with him so far this season taught he would thrieve in the SPL

[drinkfeckarse]

So did his manager. Still time for him to make an impact there though. He hasn't been helped by a number of niggly injuries either.

[amaccann]

Duff... ... Duff... name rings a bell. Ain't that some hollywood actress?

[ken foree]

no i think he used play gaelic for dublin, lanky bearded fella :confused::)

[tricky_colour]

Didn't he break his leg and get put down?

Left Back Damien Duff

[onenilgameover]

isnt it Duffy?

[Colbert Report]

I can't wait to see his return for Newcastle. On his day, when he's fit and healthy, he's the most exciting winger in the Premiership. It will be interesting to see how he looks when he comes back, even if he's a shell of his former self he'll be miles better than any of our other players.

[drinkfeckarse]

He hasn't had "his day" in a long time but I agree, a fit Duff is important to us.

[elroy]

Its gonna take duffer a long time to get back, id imagine he's going to have a few niggling injuries along the way. Hopefully with a reasonably clear run and plenty of matches he'll be back to his best by the start of next season.

[Stuttgart88]

Still only 28.

[Sligo Hornet]

Still only 28.

That's not his age, but the number of games he's played in the last 3 years:rolleyes:

uff was devastated by foot injury
Thursday, 29 November 2007 17:19

Newcastle midfielder Damien Duff has admitted he broke down after being told he was the first footballer to suffer the injury which might have ended his career.

The 28-year-old is back in training after recovering from a dislocation in his foot suffered at Portsmouth in April.

However, the Republic of Ireland international has revealed his shock when his surgeon told him what had happened.

Duff told the club's official website, www.nufc.co.uk: 'It was devastating.

'You should have seen me when I first found out in the surgeon's office, I broke down in tears. It was a dislocation in the middle of my foot, and the surgeon said he had never seen it on a footballer before, and that was a shock.

'It was an horrendous injury. I was the only footballer to ever get it. It's a case of taking things one day at a time because I have had my foot up all summer.

'We will be looking at a couple of reserve games first, but hopefully it will not be too long before I am back.'

Can't wait until he's back in an Ireland jersey. Don't forget he set up pretty much all our goals in this campaign until he got injured.

[Sligo Hornet]

Bloody hell...sounds dreadful........can't wait for him to return, and I hope he gets the support and welcome he deserves.......UP THE DUFF!!
