Everyone at Mansfield Park would like to send their thoughts and best wishes to Stuart Graham and his family following the dreadful injury he picked up during yesterday’s game. ‘Biscuit’ twisted badly in a tackle resulting in a bad dislocation and break of his left ankle.
He went through an operation at the BGH last night to relocate the ankle, and further surgery this morning to repair the damage done. I spoke to Stuart’s father in law this afternoon, and Wull kindly gave me the go ahead to update everyone concerned.
We would like to say a huge thank you to our Club Doctor Neil Vint, physio Becca Armstrong together with the Percy Park physio, for their first class, calm and assured care. Also to the ambulance crew who attended and looked after Stuart. Thereafter everyone in attendance at Mansfield Park yesterday and ultimately the doctors, nurses and surgeons at the BGH, who have given Stuart the very best of care in the last 24 hours.
I can’t stress how big a part Stuart has played at Mansfield Park, over the many years he has been here, and how highly respected and admired he is, by not only the membership but by all the players coaches and backroom staff. We saw yesterday how the spirit of this club comforted Stuart and his family, and we will continued to do this as Stuart recovers from his injury and gets back on his feet. Hawick RFC isn’t just a rugby club, it is a community and a way of life, and always will be. Our love to Stuart, Kerry, Lydia, Rory, Jane, Wull, Carol, Ross & Ailsa. 🏉💚
