Finn Surman

Might as well start a thread for him, hopefully he makes his break thru to regular football this season.

Surman was ruled out of New Zealand’s second match against Tunisia after copping an accidental boot to the head from club captain Alex Rufer during a training session in Cairo.

He returned from Egypt looking like a mummy with his head heavily bandaged and was deemed “touch and go” for Sunday’s match for the Phoenix at Sky Stadium.

“The ball popped up and I went quite low with my head and he flicked the ball over my head and got me briefly on the follow through and just cut it open,” Surman explained.

“It was a complete accident.”
