Yes. Felt by smelt... a sentence or two on all of the injured players... pre internet this was an important read!
Remember come rain or shine he'd wear shorts.... usually the away shorts despite being at roker park
Stinker was his.nicknameBit of a random question this but does anyone know what he gets up to these days? Or since he left the club all those years ago. I remember when I was a kid always knew the physio’s name etc but haven’t got a clue who we have now.
BennoCan only see the back of his head but the greatest 'stretchered off' incident ever.

Used to see him on the A19 after the match so must have lived in Cleveland in those days.
Johnny Waters was the man.
Didn't also have something to do with Wearmouth Colliery in a medical capacity? sure my dad knew him from there, top bloke apparently.I worked with Johnny for 7 years and he was brilliant. Funny always laughing. He used to use the injured players to drive him all over the town. We sued to go to Edward Thompsons canteen for ourlunchdinner. Calling at the bookies at the top of Roker Baths Road. They drove him to the races after treatment. Great bloke - knew his stuff. His ropms were where the football people met after a match for a whisky - Stein, Busby, Mercer, Docherty.

Aye it might have been from the Duck Inn rather than the pit he knew him from, spent about the same time at both me daHe looked after the cricketers at Whitburn, Sunderland and Wearmouth. He lived just along from Wearmouth CC and it was his local.
I remember meeting him in a pub a few years ago. I pointed at him and shouted “you fart smeller, you fart smeller!!!” I was straining my vocal chords shouting it so loud and almost burst a blood vessel. Wasn’t him.
Was teaching sport therapy at Teesside uni a few years ago.
Oooh, matron!Remember when his article in the programme was called "Felt by Smelt"?
Aye, assisted in the stretchering off of John Kay by Boycey.Can only see the back of his head but the greatest 'stretchered off' incident ever.

Always remember at Roker him jogging back around the outside of the pitch and he used to get a standing ovation, could never tell if he loved it or not ha
