Blackwell delighted for Geary
10 Nov 2009 - 14:46:37
Sheffield United boss Kevin Blackwell was delighted to witness the return of long-term injury victim Derek Geary during his team's 2-2 draw with local rivals Barnsley on Monday evening.
The 29-year-old had been on the sidelines for a pain-staking 15-month period following a serious knee injury that required major surgery to repair the joint.
Blackwell was understandably enthused at Geary's return as he believed his playing days were over.
Speaking to The Star, he said: "We all thought Del was finished, to be honest. We didn't think he was going to play again but, I tell you what, he's come back and shown a great deal of courage.
"I'm proud of him, delighted for him, and he should be proud of himself. He's had the same operation as the cricketer, Andrew Flintoff and, believe me, that's a big job."
