He tweeted it afterwards. He obviously wasn't sat in the hospital bed tweeting away was he?

"3/3 finally thanks to the saints fans at the hospital, taking pics while I was in quite a bit of discomfort #crettins"

Get well soon and see you on the pitch next season.

Get well soon Simon....best wishes for a speedy recovery!

Gutted for him

Any mention of the 1000's of Saints fans that clapped him off and wished him well?

that sort of behaviour is a given were we are from....so no need to mention it really.

But if you insist...well done for clapping off a player from the opposition who has just broken his ankle.

Pretty sure every team in the sport does that.

I drove my car to work today and didn't crash, where's my mention?

Best wishes and a speedy recovery. Your team did you proud after you went off.

Get well soon Grix

Dunno about you but I don't usually use my legs to tweet.

How did he know they were Saints Fans

We were all at the match?

they were probably shouting FORWARD at every opportunity.

I'm guessing they were in Saints shirts? And every single Saints fan was at that match? So you only have 11,000 fans?

Modern day Britain innit. If you took a dump in the middle of town, people would film it on their phones.

I broke my right leg and dislocated my ankle. It was pretty nasty, my foot was facing the wrong way. It took me about a year to get playing at the same standard again (Sunday League football) but reckon if I was a semi pro or professional, I would never have got to that level again.

Saying that, Grix will hopefully get better treatment than I did, as a bog standard NHS patient.

Whiston hospital serves a wider area than just St Helens. If a patient turns up in full kit I think people other than Saints supporters could also be taking photos.

The club have announced that Simon has suffered a Spiral fracture to both his Tib & Fib.

That sounds bad, hope he recovers and gets back for next season.

Hope he recovers for next season.

Very under-rated player who seems to get more than his fair share of bad luck.

On seeing it happen it gave me butterflies - looked a shocker.

Luke Walsh had his hand over his face. Looked like it gave him a bad flashback of his bad injury.

Really hope he comes through okay. Looked terrible!

Shame for the lad. Dusnt do small injuries. Hope he gets back to full fitness.

No he dusnt.

Any news on Benny?

Heard about it & saw it yesterday. Horrific break. Hope he gets the best rehab & come back from it. Chev Walker did & hope he can do the same.

Enjoy tonight's game as a fan Simon.
Get well soon.
