Skuse Thanks Medical Staff, Fans and Canaries - Ipswich Town News
Midfielder Cole Skuse has thanked the medical staff who attended to him following his clash of heads in the East Anglian derby against Norwich City, fans of both clubs for the ovation he received as he left the field and also the Canaries for sending him a get well soon message.
Skuse underwent a lengthy spell of treatment on the pitch just before half-time after clashing heads with Norwich defender Timm Klose at a Town corner. He was eventually stretchered off but was able to be driven home after the match.
"I was out for the count for 90 seconds, two minutes but in terms of memory loss, there has not been a problem. I can remember it all,” he told the club site.""
"I’d like to thank everyone for the help on the day. At the time, I said a few foul words to the ambulance team out of probably being a bit giddy; there was frustration there as well because they were strapping me in from top to bottom - which I didn’t think was necessary.
"""They explained to me that it was as a precaution and they had to do it. Everything was done in the right manner. All the checks were done and that is why I was allowed to return to training pretty quickly.
"As I was going off I could clearly hear the chants from the fans and the ovation I got from all areas, not just our fans, meant a lot to me.
"I also received a letter in the post from Norwich City Football Club saying ‘all rivalries aside, we want to wish you a speedy recovery’. I thought that was a classy touch.”
