One of the country’s top knee surgeons is not expecting a restful Christmas with a packed festive football schedule ahead of him.
Specialist Andy Williams is on speed dial for most of the Premier League, helping to care for players at five of the Big Six clubs, a further ten top-flight outfits and a clutch of teams in the football league.
And he knows there is a high chance he’ll be in action with 10 top-tier teams in action on Boxing Day alone, during a particularly congested season.
Williams won’t even consider popping a cork on one of his favourite Aussie reds until long after the final whistles blow up and down the country and the softly-spoken 56-year-old will be glued to the action.
