I know a young ( ish ) girl ( she is in her 20's ) that plays for a Development team with my daughter, she had a bad ACL tear, she stayed fit ( ish ) and was back playing netball in 2 years, that was via NHS physio work, i must admit, she has lost a massive edge to her game and people seem to think she holds back as to not have the same Injury

Gascoigne didn't seem to be the player he was after his recuperation but Shearer seemed to carry on like nothing had ever happened.
