BBC Sport - Football - Grecians lose defender Archibald-Henville to injury

BBC Friday, 12 February 2010

Exeter City defender Troy Archibald-Henville has been ruled out for the remainder of the season after sustaining a cartilage injury.
The 21-year-old, who joined City from Tottenham Hotspur last week, was injured in the warm up before their clash with Southampton on Saturday.

Pay out their first transfer fee in 7 years and he's out within 2 weeks.
Shame

 

[El Turi]

No he won't


Shame

Good because I thought he wasn't bad when we played them away.

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

How unlucky is that

 

[Everest]

Even funnier was he was only on the bench.

Makes this all the more impressive:

Up to December, 2008, Exeter compiled a club record run of 125 matches without back-to-back defeats (all but five of those under Tisdale).

Yes he did. Beaten to it by El Turi.

Ah. Well, Everest suggested so, before he EDITED!

I think he even got Man of the Match against us at the real SJP.

I do not think Walsall have paid a transfer fee since they signed Jorge Leitao, back in 2000.

 

[Withdean Wanderer]

There's a thread about a bloke named Troy Archibald-Henville and nobody has used the word "flair" yet?

I do not think Walsall have paid a transfer fee since they signed Jorge Leitao, back in 2000.

I’ve had a quick look on Soccerbase and I cannot see any fees paid since then.

Given they have worked with free transfers only they have done exceptionally well to keep competitive in League 1 in that time. I know Money got them promoted a few years back but still.

According to a friend, they generally turn in a profit and Bonser trousers that. However, if they do make a loss, he will balance the books - he owns the stadium, so takes an annual rent from the club.
