His ankle was affected by some form of Syndrome, further to the initial treatment for the injury on international duty. I can't quote chapter and verse, but some form of growth occurs occasionally on the bone, if it is mending itself further to trauma such as a break. This enlargement isn't malign in a conventional sense, but it makes high performance athleticism practically impossible and can lead to cartilage wastage.
In the end, he retired to avoid going around in a wheelchair in his 30-40's.
A great shame, because on his day he had the skills to pay the bills. I have resisted an all-too familiar foray onto Youtube.
I don't know about insurance; he won't be going short, I rather imagine.
Ho hum.

I am sure he has a lovely amount of cash that any normal person would faint at.
Good luck Dean
PS: Wasnt he rumoured to be a city fan?

He was a scum fan. He was interviewed by the local crewe paper when he played for the alex, said it was his lifes dream to play for em.
Met him a couple of times in local pubs and clubs. His opinion of himself was, shall we say, overwelming.
