Gateshead midfielder JJ O'Donnell has unfortunately picked up a serious injury which has left him with only a 50/50 chance of EVER playing football again. Unfortunately, due to the cost of treatment Gateshead FC cannot fund his treatment. Therefore I have set up a Go Fund Me page for JJ and it would be much appreciated if people could donate as much as possible. Thank you and please don't forget to spread the word.

Well, I'm ever closer to winning £228.42. If Newcastle keep it up, I be quids in.

Despite being a Newcastle fan. At the beginning of April, I placed a bet of £2.82 on Newcastle to get relegated at 80/1.

Prob be one of the few Newcastle fans happy to see them go down. But they way they are playing (and many of the customers at work agree with me), is that they deserve to go down.

I am skint...

Can I ask one thing, I promise I am not having a dig, it is admirable what your doing and I think you are doing a good thing, but he is a professional footballer, does he need a whip round, don't clubs and players have insurance for things like this??? I do hope he recovers from the injury and can continue to play in future, a 50/50 chance is not good

The injury is a foot injury called trendonitis.

The insurance thing has been mentioned a few times but it appears not

Thanks for the support mate

I thought all clubs had to have insurance for players...Anyway, I hope he is fine, I see he is quite young, 22/23???

Found an O'Donnell video on YouTube

I have had issues with my tendons in my knees for a long time. Issues caused by my sporty/athletic past.
At the time, the NHS wouldn't operate. I would have had to pay and private.
Needless to say, I continue to suffer.

Whilst there may be insurance in place, I am guessing there are all sorts of loopholes - meaning the tendonitis isn't covered.
Very surprised the club aren't covering the costs of the operation.

He is a cracking/whole hearted player and when the rumours first emerged earlier in the year about it being career threatening, I was gutted for the lad.

Hopefully it isn't and hopefully he can get his career back on track.

So it's now official... Chelsea are the champions.

On the 2nd May, he outlines the situation with him and the club.

Was watching Sky Sports and since Division 1 started Sunderland have won it 6 times but Chelsea have only won it 5 and Aston Villa have 7 titles which i was rather surprised at.

Who the hell is going to play in defence for Newcastle now Williamson and Janmaat are suspended, and Dummett is injured?

We can't recall Lascelles from loan either.

Use the U18 squad.

R Taylor, Colo, Satka, Anita would be my bet.

I think Dummett is close to a return.
Then Gutierrez has played left back too.

Far from ideal like, especially when two international defenders were sold in Jan.

Jimmy Greaves: Former striker faces 'slow recovery' after stroke

Here's hoping Greavsie make a good recovery...

Older members will no doubt remember Saint and Greavsie that was on T.V. from 1985-1992

Well somebody had to do this:

Tbf I couldn't care less whether he apologises or not he is still sh!t

This might make me sound like a bit of a 'softy' but JJ O'Donnell literally had me reduced to tears tonight for what he said about me

He was just praising me for what I've done for him etc and just telling us his story of the injury
