This has gone very very quiet.
From being out for the rest of the season, to a year to 18 months and now over 2 years.
We all saw the pictures a few month back and nothing.
Now if he's not to play again, or retire, then wouldn't it be a nice move by the club to maybe at the last game of the season come on for a five minute cameo role?
I hoped they would do the same for riggot bit never did.

well that's a good oxymoron rat.Originally Posted by Rattea
personally I've always thought he'll never play again and I still don't think he will. just a matter of time before he ends up on the coaching staff.
shame because he was a bloomin good defender and we could do with some competition for Keogh who defended woefully for boro's goal yesterday. not for the first time recently.

Yes it would of been a very nice gesture to let Chris Riggot have a cameo, but listening to his interveiw on Radio Derby when he left, he was NEVER going to get a cameo let alone a game due to Cloughs lack of man management and mardiness, accused Clough of blanking him and ignoring him i beleive, (not the first one to accuse Clough of this either)

Wonder if we can claim on the insurance for him? To be honest it was very obvious and I kept saying that he would never b play for Derby again... The knee cap was twisted underneath his leg, so all the tendons etc were effectively cut, ruptured and severly strained.
Not many younger players would have come back from that never mind someone approaching 32 in September.
Hopefully he may stay on to help coach the defensive players at the club.

The answer is yes as it's when the injury is sustained and the insurance in place then ... If there was any in place?
I think and not sure that if he's a player if it's calle in the premium is higher.
