Quote Another such character who will be featured on Boots 'N' All in the near future is Ryan Owen who is a Wiganer who plays for Warrington Wolves reserves.
Last year he suffered an horrific injury in a tackle, his skull shattered above the eye. He was taken to hospital after the incident but wasn't x-rayed. It meant he played in another game before the severity of the injury was finally spotted. The doctor who treated him said his injury was comparable to an RTA trauma. He now plays with a metal plate in his forehead.
...
There is one other factor that makes Owen stand out. He plays rugby despite being deaf.
