...about 1992/93 for me...a week after Gazza had his done.
I was one of the first in the country to have it done by keyhole/small incisions rather than the great big cut straight down the front of your knee!
They even offered me a choice of the pattela tendon graft ...or replacing the while thing with a carbon fibre alternative...BBBBBBLLLLLLLING!
2 years later...playing again, and have been ever since. Just need the rest of my body to recover now!
Hear what you are saying about the NHS though PB, my mate had the same operation on the NHS about 3 years ago...after which he couldn't straighten his leg fully...3 operations later and its still buggered. Think he took someone to court over it in the end ...he's is/was a PE teacher!
