Former Grecian turns career to law

[Grecian32]

Not sure if any of you remember or were there that night in Crediton where James Berry horrifically broke his leg all but ending his career.

A piece in the Express & Echo today gives an update as to his career!

As a good friend of James', it's good to see him come out of it well!

Excellent story - perhaps he could put his new talents to use by suing the pants off the **** who smashed his leg up!

I was there that night and even though he was half a pitch length away when it happened the sound was utterly sickening. Makes me wince even now just thinking about it.
Nice to read of a bit of success for him - I wonder if the thug who assaulted him is still a knuckle dragging low life who spends his Saturdays kicking lumps out of people.

As an aside, did they get a five year old to write the article? I haven't seen such appalling English since the last time I logged in here.

Well done James.

Who actually was the player who broke the lad's leg?

Who actually was the player who broke the lad's leg?

Lad called Ben Harris from memory

Was a shocker of a tackle - remember just thinking that's bad it sounded nasty

Any relation to Ian ?

I remember it clear as day, awful challenge and the Crediton player got a load of stick from his team mates afterwards too.

Horrible ****er (BH not JB). Used to play for Wonford on Sundays and trying to break legs was his MO. You were happy to come off the pitch walking, regardless of the result.
