John Kennedy

[NAIRN COUNTY FC]

At the age of only 26, The gifted defender that was John Kennedy has had to retire from the game due to a horific injury that he collected 5 years ago on his Scotland Debut, He was Nailed by the Rumanian player Ionel Ganea (i think he was a wolves player at the time) in a horendous tackel that has finaly put paid to a player that would have been a fixture in the Celtic Defence for years (how we could do with him these days). He made a return to football after 3 years on the side lines, only to damage his knee again in a champs league game that same season, last year, he went on lone to Norwich, but returned to celtic park in december with another injury to the same knee. As i said, John was a wonderful player that had a great future in front of him at the time and it is tragic that he has finaly had to give up the game.
