Smashed my left fibula, fractured my skull and shattered my left eye socket and nearly lost my left eye in a bad accident at a race in Bangor in 89 took over an hour to get the ambulance to me then the best part of an hour before they could stabilise me I was then taken to Newtownards hospital still concious and rushed to the Royal later that day and put into a coma for 4 days. I didn't get a penny for racing nor did I get insurance and I had the guts not only to get back to training but back racing 5 months later. As I said cyclists are harder than footballers:-bd
