UPDATE ON SAVAGE SAM

[Markoff]

I spoke with Savage Sam recently. You'll have seen from Mikey's post that Savage Sam sustained some serious injuries to his leg during a motorbike accident. Sam has asked me to share with you the crash details and his current recovery situation. Sam took a bend with a passenger on board. When the bike tilted to the side as expected, the passenger who hadn't been on the back of a bike for several years, instead of leaning with the bike, sat upright which caused the foot peg of the bike to hit the floor and bounced the bike sending it into the central reservation. The passenger escaped with minor injuries but Sam came close to severing his leg but for the muscle which held it in tact. As in one of the pictures Mikey posted which looked like an exhaust pipe burn but it was actually the muscle from the back of his leg holding it together! He is now in the process of being treated in two hospitals in an effort to save his leg. As you can imagine, he's trying to keep his spirits up. Naturally he's out of contact via the internet and will have at least another 5 weeks in hospital. If anyone wants to speak to him, please let me know and I will pass on his mobile number (after getting his permission of course). I'll contact him regularly and pass on comments etc if you wish.

Cheers Markoff

Thanks Markoff, Tell him good luck and all our prayers are with him. We all hope the best for him. Can't wait until he gets back so we can joke with him and call him Sausage Sam again. He is a really nice guy., I played with him a lot. I sure as hell wouldn't want to be in his shoes. Keep us posted. Thanks again

Thanks for the update, mate - I've been wondering how our team member was doing.  I'll PM regarding contact.  I guess this happened in Essex somewhere?

Due to the severity of the injuries, I guess he might have been transferred to a hospital specialising in orthopaedic surgery??

If he's within a day's return drive from me, I'd be happy to pay him a welfare visit, though guess booze and the like would be viewed as "contraband" within

the hospital.  He's probably on some much stronger stuff!

I'll find out where he is for sure, ward etc then PM you ....
