There will be no more football in 2013 for Matt Thurtell. That is the sad wash-up from Sunday’s 4-0 win by the Strikers over Western Pride in Ipswich, where one highly questionable tackle saw Thurtell stretchered from the field a couple of minutes before the half time break with a knee injury. Scans of Thurtell’s [...]
