Yeah it was indeed his other leg that got injured, though the ball was hit by John Arne Riise and you wouldn't get me stood in front of one of his shots anyway, cos when he hits them, they stay hit.
I'd like to wish Alan Smith all the best for a full recovery, it's a nasty injury by the sounds of it. He is a good honest hard player, yeah he gives it, but he takes it and gets on with the game. He is one of those now rare players that if he goes down and stays down, he's been hurt.A player I have a great deal of respect for and I only wish he'd come to us rather than going to the scum. But I do hope he gets to play again because it could even be a career ender.
I think the reaction of the Liverpool fans was admirable but what I expect and it tells you what they think of him as a player. For those that don't know he (as an opposition player) got a standing ovation from the home fans as he was stretchered off.
