THE sight of former Dragon Tom Kearney wheeling through the air and then being carried from the pitch will have left all true Reds sickened for the Altrincham captain.

Follwoing a collision with defender Frank Sinclair, Tom was taken to the Wrexham Maelor Hospital for treatment and word back to the Altrincham officials was that he had broken both the fibula and tibula.

"Tom's a great lad and no one want's to see anything like that," said Dean Saunders.

"I'll be trying to speak to him tomorrow, because it's a bad injury.

"Frank has not meant any harm, he's slide in and Tom has come off the worse.

"We may have done well with 10-men for so long and the lads have battled, but the worst bit is Tom's broken leg and that's more important than anything."

All Wrexham players, officials and supporters will join together in wishing him a speedy recovery.
