Highly-rated youngster Terry Dixon has under-gone surgery after suffering a dislocated knee in a match against Norwich City.

Spurs academy manager John McDermott told the official site: “Terry had his operation last week and the surgeons were very happy.

“I spoke to him before the operation and we know this will be a tough time for him. He’ll be in the gym, away from the training pitch where he excels and it’s a mental challenge for him now to rebuild the strength in the knee.

“He’ll do it though - he’s determined and although he’ll have his ups and downs, he’ll get through it.”

A nice story in The Mirror newspaper where Jermaine Jenas - as well as Zat Knight, Kieron Dyer and Theo Walcott - had tests to see if they were compatible blood marrow donors for leukaemia sufferer Keiton Knight.

Jenas to the paper: “I’m pleased to be able to do my bit to try and help Keiton and thousands of people like him. Registering your bone marrow only takes a few minutes, and I encourage everyone who can to get involved.”

Sadly it seems Keiton will die unless he finds a donor. More info at keitonknight.com.
