Sunderland coach Tony Mowbray suffers freak injury while celebrating crucial 95th minute goal

Sunderland coach Tony Mowbray suffered a hamstring injury while celebrating his side’s dramatic late equaliser against Watford. The Black Cats kept their top-six hopes alive with a spirited late comeback in the 2-2 draw with Watford, with Patrick Roberts scoring a stunning leveller in the 95th minute.

Watford were two goals ahead at a sold-out Stadium of Light thanks to headers from Christian Kabasele in the first half and Ryan Porteous in the 69th minute. But 60 seconds after that second goal, Luke O’Nien gave Sunderland a lifeline before Roberts’ moment of brilliance deep into stoppage time. The scenes of joy soon turned to pain for Black Cats boss Mowbray, who pulled his hamstring celebrating in the dugout. Ah so this is what “The Tony Mowbray” must be😂 pic.twitter.com/pHbNcrLRrT — Michael Lough (@mickylough95) April 29, 2023 The draw leaves Sunderland in seventh, two points shy of sixth-placed Millwall ahead of their final-day trip to Deepdale. Despite an 18-year professional playing career, the former defender revealed it was the first time he suffered the injury. Mowbray said; “I think it’s a hamstring injury. I never had a hamstring injury in 18 years as a professional because I was never fast enough but when that goal went in, I obviously moved a bit too quick.

“I’m sure it’ll be fine, a bit of treatment. We have a full treatment room but if I can grab a physio I’ll be fine. “It gives us real clarity that we have to go and win at Preston next week. If we do, everyone around us has tough games on paper. “Let’s go and win. It’s real clarity now, we know we need to go and get the three points and see what happens. “I’m pretty relaxed about it. We’ve given ourselves a real opportunity, we’ll take 6,000 fans there, let’s hope it’s a big party.”

Tony Elumelu shares inspiring life story as he recalls NYSC days

Popular business tycoon, Tony Elumelu shares inspiring story of how he joined the banking profession despite not having the required grade.

Walking down memory lane, he shared a photo from 1985 when he did his one-year mandatory national service. He revealed that during his service year, he was unsure of what to do next after his NYSC, but was certain that he would make it through hard work and resilience. Mr Elumelu said that he had admired the banking profession particularly for how impeccably dressed they typically are. He had resolved to apply for a job at All States Trust Bank, however a minimum of 2:1 was demanded and he had graduated with a 2:2 grade.

Undeterred by this, he applied regardless and assured his future employers that he’d prove himself and was granted a chance. He stated that he shared the story to inspire the youths who had recently passed out of the NYSC. In his words: “Circa 1985. I recall my Youth Service days in Sokoto, a young man, fresh out of school, enjoying the drinks we could afford (lol) and unsure about the next steps. In my uncertainty, I was sure of one thing, I will stand out wherever I found myself, through hard work and resilience. I had always admired the banking profession, for one, I loved that the guys in the profession were always impeccably dressed… suspenders were a huge thing then, and I wanted to look like them. A few years later, after my Masters, I saw the application for graduates with a minimum of 2:1 in All States Trust Bank, this aligned with what I wanted for my life, but my 2:2 grade did not make me qualified, still, I applied, because I identified what I wanted in life and I was going to work towards it. I put in my application and said “Even though I do not meet these requirements if you give me the chance, I will prove myself”. I got this job and spent every day proving myself and earning my luck in the bank. Do it afraid and do it unsure! To the young ones out there, especially those who just passed out of NYSC yesterday, this is my message to you. The world needs your courage. #FlashbackFriday #TOEWay”
