Former Manchester United forward Alan Smith has opened up about his recovery from a horror leg break suffered in 2006.
, Smith revealed that even when he returned to action first time, coaches and medical staff were still uncertain over whether he could carry on.“I’d played against Crewe in the Carling Cup, and I just knew I was not ready to play. It was just a bit of a tester to see what the next stage was, because nobody really knew.
“I never got back to the levels that I was at before the injury, but no-one really knew if I should even bother carrying on realistically, because of where you’re at.
He explained: “For me, it was a case of, there was a lot of people over that 15-16 month period that I’d become very close to at the club, all people that were still motivating you through a very difficult period. They were all so supportive.“It was a period of time where people like that, and the physios and staff, they were keeping you so motivated. The night, I hope, was so good for everybody.
“It was all their work, combined with the hard work that I’d put in, and the trust of the club itself to look after me in such a way that they did in such a difficult period of time. “I feel like, if you’re going to have an injury, I was fortunate to be such a great club. There was no, ‘We need to rush to get you back because we’re paying your wages’. There were no shortcuts taken in my recovery.”
