Clark concern for Pilkington

09 March 2011 11:30
Huddersfield manager Lee Clark was visibly upset by the injury sustained by Anthony Pilkington in the 2-1 victory over Rochdale. Terriers skipper Peter Clarke and several Rochdale players comforted Pilkington as he received treatment on the pitch before being rushed to hospital. Earlier, Benik Afobe finished neatly from close range and Gary Roberts produced an exquisite chip before Gary Jones hit a late reply for Dale. He said: "I can't think of any other occasion where the result has been of absolutely no importance to us. "The win was only important because Anthony would have wanted us to get the three points. We don't know how bad the injury is at this stage. All I know is that when he held his leg up his ankle was pointing the other way. "It's knocked us all for six. Two or three of our players were in tears and a few of theirs were as well. "I'd like to pay tribute to Keith Hill and all the Rochdale players and staff. Keith was as devastated as I was when I told him what had happened. And the reaction of Rochdale's players was sportsmanship at its best."
