Writing in the Telegraph, Will Greenwood wrote: "Slow and methodical, Robbo controlled the medical staff asthey lifted me on to the stretcher. The faces looked pale carrying me off. As we passed my mum, she cried: "William, William, what have you done".

"It is not a video I want to see again, and I now understand how hard it is for motherss across the country to watch their children take the field worrying if they are going to be hurt. The anguish was etched on her face. In later meetings, the good doctor said he thought I had gone. The video of the medical room shows me all I needed to know. Robbo was white and shaking, my mum was distraught in the background.

"I had swallowed my tongue, my pupils were not reacting to light, my throat was about to be cut open to free up the airways. I can tell you that there was no out-of-body experience, no going towards the light. I just was o't going to wake up.

"Then it happened. With Robbo's help and my mum's howls I came too. What was the first thing I did? I told my mother to go away as she was embarrassing me.

"I was transferred to the ambulance, my old man accompanied me. I was asleep again, the body shutting down to recover. Then suddenly, the journey had hardly begun when I sat bolt upright and shouted "Dad, tell them it's my hamstring".

"As soon as I had said it, I was straight back down and asleep. You see in those days, concussion was a mandatory three-week ban, and my old man had always told me never to admit concussion
