Ex-Scunthorpe United and Bolton Wanderers midfielder Peter Morrison has been awarded more than £400,000 in an out-of-court settlement, for a tackle that ended his career. He was playing in a reserve match for Scunthorpe on February 14th 2001, when Grimsby Town defender Ben Chapman made a late tackle that resulted him in being sent off and the game was subsequently abandoned.
The challenge caused a double compound fracture of the leg, resulting in his tibia and fibula bones sticking out of the skin. Mr Morrison is now working as a sports agent. Back
