Sir, – I totally agree with Anne Byrne about cyclists, footballers and their need to share tales of their injuries (October 6th). In a long, very average, rugby career I suffered a dislocated shoulder, broken leg, fractured wrist, torn knee ligaments, a torn hamstring and in addition, had more than 30 stitches to various cuts. I also have arthritis in both big toes.
But I don’t have to tell everybody about my injuries! – Yours, etc,
DAVE ROBBIE,
Booterstown, Co Dublin.
