Hume starts Morgan legal battle

01 May 2009 15:49
The Canada international needed emergency surgery on the fractured skull he sustained during a challenge with Morgan in the Tykes' 2-1 defeat at Oakwell in November, where the Blades skipper appeared to elbow Hume. Match referee Andy D'Urso only issued a yellow card at the time of the incident and despite a public outcry for action to be taken, the Football Association decided against further punishment for Morgan. Barnsley owner Patrick Cryne is beginning legal action against Sheffield United to counter the club's loss, while 17 MPs have signed an Early Day Motion calling for FA action against Morgan. But Hume - who has returned to light training six months after the incident - is keen for his own personal justice for a challenge that nearly ended his career. He told the Sheffield Star: "Things are in the pipeline at the moment, I've got my legal people doing things. "I'm taking their advice and just waiting to see where we go next. When I'm needed I'll be there to do whatever they need me to."
