He needs more surgery and will be out for another 12 months.

I know the Dixon Family in Ireland and it is great to see rumours flying around.

I can't believe you are quoting the Star - it is hardly a paper of record (but then again, The Times printed lies about Stokes). He has had injuries but they are no career threatening. I was also told that he has also signed a new contract.

Yeah, unfortunately it's true.

He did his knee in again, it doesn't look good for him at such an important age.
The kid must be devastated.

Woodie, i may be a bit slow today but you seem to be contradicting yourself in your 2 posts above....is it or is it not career threatening for the lad?

That's a shame. I hope things work out for him.

How old is he? Could be a place for him alongside Colin Healy in our "crocked former internationals" midfield at Cork :D

Is there a way we can blame Stan and Delaney for this? ;)
I have a feeling he will be back, though who knows how much time he will have lost by then.

He is not a midfielder he is a forward.

Don't be silly he'd never get his game there. We put all signed strikers into midfield first to test the water, � la Doyle and O'Donovan. You don't just walk in ahead of O'Flynn and Behan :D

Besides, if he's 17, He could be a corner forward for all we know at this stage.

Quotes from the Herald:

"People knew that I'd had injury problems for the last while. People within football knew that I had left Tottenham so word got around that I had finished, I had retired, but that's not the case.

There are no guarantees and I have a bit of a way to go, but I do hope that I will be able to play football again. At what level, and with any success, I don't know, no one knows that now.

I had a real high in my career, in my life, when I was in the Ireland squad and on the bench for a game at Lansdowne Road. If that was the high, this is the real low at the moment, leaving Tottenham.

But I do have a real hope that I will be able to play football, at least earn a living from football and see where it takes me after that.

I went to see a specialist a while back and he gave me a bit of hope, he said it's possible that I can play again and be a professional. At this stage it's only a possible and there are no guarantees, but I am strong in my own mind and I am determined to get back playing again.

I am finished with Spurs now, but I have had clubs in touch with me. A couple of teams have said they want me to come there so I can do my rehab and get back training. If I get my fitness up and can show them that I'm able to play without any problems, then I will have a chance of signing.

I will see how I am feeling in the next few weeks but I hope to be able to go to a club soon enough and start doing some more work. At the moment I can do some jogging and some work with leg weights, I have done a bit of passing and some ball work so that was good for me, to work wth a ball again. There's a long road ahead of me and if I do get back, it will be next season.

Spurs paid up my contract. They said that they couldn't take any more chances on me and my fitness, they said that they didn't see it happening for me there. It was hard to leave, I had been there for ten years and to be honest I'd hoped they would treat me better.

There are clubs interested in me and that's a boost for me. I have a good family and friends around me but it's good to know that people in football are also interested and want to sign me.

I will try and get fit and give it a go with some club. This could be my last chance, so I have no reason not to try. I haven't achieved anything in football really, I haven't played a club game and I haven't played for Ireland, I want to do both of them so hopefully the knee can clear up, I can get fit and achieve my goals.

If I can't play again and if I have to quit, at least I know that I tried, and I will do something else. I have been doing coaching courses and I want to stay in the game so I'll see what the future holds for me."

How many can say that Stan being manager of Ireland was deciding factor for the highlight of their life :)

Unlike Woodie, our lad Terry is not going away just yet, good luck to him.

Yeah fingers crossed and good luck to him. You would have expected Spurs to at least let him see out his contract at the club if they paid him off anyway. Maybe they just felt it was a hopeless case and keeping him at the club would only give him false hope.

Anyone know exactly what his injury is?
