Keep Alan Cartwright in your prayers

Yesterday morning at 7.10am a good friend of mine Alan Cartwright was in a collision with a car near St Aidan's School. Alan suffered severe head injuries and had surgery yesterday at Leeds General Hospital to remove a blood clot from his brain. He has been in Intensive Care since tea time yesterday. He is sedated and supported by a ventilator. His family and friends will not know the full extent of Alan's injuries until he slowly comes round in a few days.

Alan has joined me down at Wetherby Road for the odd game and is a kind, considerate man with two teenage children and Marie his lovely wife. He is a Psychiatric Nurse and was due to retire in a year or so. He is captain of our snooker team at High Harrogate WMC on Skipton Road. Out of respect for Alan and his family we cancelled our league match at Knaresborough Conservative Club last night.

Please, please, please, remember Alan and his lovely family in your prayers and remember that tomorrow's match is ultmately only a game of football.

Nice post Bernard.

Best wishes to all concerned.

Wishing him a speedy and full recovery

just hope everything will be ok, wishing him all the best

Thanks to the supporters and Directors who asked about Alan at the Stockport match on Saturday. Alan's wife Maria has been in touch today to tell me that Alan was sitting up in bed yesterday morning:) He is still in Intensive Care but the medical team looking after Alan removed the tube from his throat that was helping him breath. Alan was obviously disoriented and did not speak. However, the signs are better and we all contiue to pray that Alan will make a full recovery.
If the team can keep the good results going then we'll all feel better. Come on lads give us a double or two against Gloucester. Sorry its a wee bit cheesy!!

Pleased to hear he is improving, and hope he makes a full recovery.
