In a statement on their official website, Huddersfield Town have announced that their Head of Medical and first team physio, James Haycock, has left to join Arsenal.
James Haycock, Town’s Head of Medical and First Team physio, is leaving to join Premier League Arsenal’s medical team, working under Head Physio Colin Lewin.
James joined the Club from Hartlepool United in July 2012, shortly after the appointment of Simon Grayson and the Club’s subsequent promotion to the Championship.
James is a popular and respected member of the Technical Staff at Huddersfield Town and everyone at the Club would like to thank him for his contribution and wish him well with the FA Cup holders.
The appointment comes in the wake of the departure of Declan Lynch, who left the Gunners to join Bath Rugby club.
He was the man with whom Jack Wilshere and Theo Walcott celebrated their goals against West Brom, so the new man has some big shoes to fill.
Good luck to him.
Zero Comments? What other news could possibly overshadow Haycock’s appointment?
Everyone has an opinion on players, tactics and possibly the manager but even the dumbest fuckwit admits he knows fuck all about this subject (beyond personal experiences).
Don’t tell me what to admit to knowing about this subject!!!!!
Sign Messi, Ronaldo and Emenike pls Mr venga
Fifa player?
One of these things is not like the others.
No Ibarbo?
What if Arsene stopped by and thought ‘what a fucking second?! How didn’t I think of this!” – yeaaaa me either.
Great physios, all three of em.
I guess he’s seeking a new challenge. Wait until we tell him about Diaby.
Our last three physios before Declan Lynch are currently on suicide watch. They spend their days in darkened rooms, rocking backwards and forwards, muttering to themselves endlessly about ‘the player who was more scar tissue than man’.
A TRAGEDY OF EXPECTATIONS IN ONE ACT
Law: Welcome to the club, James.
Haycock: Thanks, Dick, but there was no need to fly to Costa Rica. I was right here in England.
Law: It’s no trouble. Now, let me introduce you to Abou Diaby. You’ll be working with him very closely.
Haycock [greeting Diaby]: Ah! An assistant! Lovely. When can you show me the ropes?
[Diaby shows Haycock his knee]
Haycock: GOOD GOD! THOSE ARE ACTUAL ROPES!
End scene.
Hate to break it to you mate, but Diaby is no longer signed to the club, maybe Wenger will resign him now….
I gather that Diaby has full use of all Colney facilities including phsyios etc until he actually signs for someone else.
Welcome to the best place in the world, James
Huddersfield Town have been champions of England more times than Spurs have.
This is the best comment I have ever read on Arseblog News.
It’s up there, yes, but I think the one about Ryo and the cones just edges it.
We’ve picked up some goold people from Huddersfield over the years. Great club.
Saw this on Metro ages ago, no surprise.
WOW…. you believed something written in the Metro…..
This one turned out correct but 99.9% of the stuff they write is complete drivel…
Has a very important job alongside shad in keeping our players fit and also getting them back to fitness after injuries as quickly as possible . especially during the horrible Feb to April months
Finally!
Looks like s psycho, not a physio.
File this one under ‘funnier in my head’.
What’s his Football Manager ’15 ratings?
It’s good business to clear this up so early in the transfer window; no more of the 11th hour nervousness and having to throw in a top quality cone gatherer and a backup kit man as makeweights to sort out the physio.
jk–I know this is massively important especially given AFC’s predilection for catastrophic injuries.
Now we have Dick Law and James Haycock. What’s next?
Mike Hawke
Poor bloke… they could of atleast waited a few days for us gooners to rejoice about petr, rather than sharing the headlines with our new starship trooper looking goalkeeper.
Anyways, welcome to the arsenal. We are on the up!
James is a world class signing too….. who wouldn’t be in this new era of Arsenal. Wait the transfer window is not open yet…. Thank you Arsene
The last time we signed someone with high pedigree ( Chapman ) it changed our club forever. .let’s hope this will follow
I hope you’re referring to the 1920s Chapman signing and not the 1980s one.
FUCKING GET IN THERE, TOP SIGNING!!!
I’m really glad we have a physio now!
