Hope he enjoys the free £97 he gets this year for sitting around on his ass nursing a slight neck strain.

Also giggle-worthy is the specificity of the forecast for time missed: between 26 and 27 months. Not 25. Not 28. But 26 to 27.

Godspeed, Mr. Bell. See you in December 1928 or January 1929.

Your players must be unionized and have a shop steward.

You can rest easy knowing he'll likely invest his ill-gotten money into the markets right as the crash hits

They sure are, and they sure do!

Well, medical technology wasn't very good back then.

I imagine that this is OOTP's way of saying that the guy is a hopeless hypochondriac. His next debilitating injury will be an ingrown fingernail.

What do you expect when his team name abbreviation is OLD?

On an unrelated note, you should give him the nickname "Baggins."

Nothing like a little schadenfreude to brighten up my day!

I got it only because I know a short, hairy man whose first name is William and who is also nicknamed Bilbo.

Actually, I wonder whether that indeed is what is intended. More likely, though, it's an error in the possible injury time associated with the injury description.

Which should probably be even more impressive since the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings really aren't my ... ahem ... baggins.

Godspeed, Mr. Bell. See you in December 1928 or January 1929.

Did you accidentally (or purposely) edit the injuries file?
