There's something about Harwich and Parkeston's Royal Oak ground that doesn't go down well with Halstead Town star Glen Revell.

Four years ago, the powerful defender broke his hand there. He ended up out of football for two years.

And last week, while he was enjoying a fine spell in Andy Clark's high-flying team, he broke his right leg.

"There must be something about the place," said Revell, who has been resting up at his Braintree home since the incident.

Revell broke his tibia and fibula during the Bank Holiday Monday clash with Harwich.

It sounds every footballer's worst nightmare, but Revell is remarkably matter-of-fact about the whole situation.
