Just read this article about Curtis Davies who sustained his achilles injury in March, wasn’t expected to return to football until October, but played yesterday in a friendly, last time I saw him being interviewed he was wearing the boot and talking about getting back into the first team by Christmas, well done I say to you Curtis….

“Aston Villa’s defensive concerns will have eased somewhat with the news that Curtis Davies has come through a friendly game to make his return from a serious injury.

The former West Brom defender, who was called up for England by Fabio Capello last season, played 60 minutes of a behind closed doors fixture against Notts County at Villa’s Bodymoor Heath training ground.

His appearance marks a significant milestone in his recovery from a ruptured Achilles tendon sustained in March, and comes as something of a surprise given he was expected to be absent until October with the problem.

“I feel great,” Davies told the club’s official website. “It was a good game to get 60 minutes in.

“I felt I could have played the whole 90 but I’ll take it slowly, one day at a time and see how I came through it.”

I hope he does well and gives us all hope - just checking blogs whilst it is half-time in the Manchester City FC EUEFA Cup game, 0-0 so far, City should be 10 - 0 up by now!!  Come on you Blues !!!

as a Baggies fan, good to see Little Dave making progress. Can’t help feeling though what a different experience it must be when you have Premiership money behind your treatment!

Morning,

My sister-in-law is a Baggies supporter as well, her Dad was on the board at one time. Think your right about the treatment, must be a big help. Did you see him on Soccer AM, he was wearing the boot quite early on and didn’t appear to have any trouble walking, that was just before the end of the season.

I hope he comes through OK.

by the way, my anti-spam word this morning was goals!

Hi,
cool article it does give a breath of hope
Thank you

OLYMPICS, getting excited I love watching, I am excited also because I was a volunteer at the Commonwealth Games in 2002 and I was an athlete marshal, had the most fantastic time, I was able to order athletes around, little old me telling Canadians and Australians, No you cannot do that, what power!!!

Greatest honour was being involved in the Opening and Closing Ceremonies and being a guard for the Queen!!!

Going now, drums sounding, hairs on my arm rising!

It’s about to begin. Had a day off work to watch..
