Former City physio faces hearing wait
Bristol City's former first team physio faces a wait over his future after his disciplinary hearing was adjourned.
John Wiley, pictured, of Brislington, treated striker Steve Brooker after an operation on his knee in May 2007.
-
The Health Professions Council heard that the striker lost the full use of his right knee after Wiley bungled his treatment, allegedly failing to monitor him properly and allowing him to go on holiday to Spain, where his knee problems flared up again.
Mr Brooker, who has since been sold to Doncaster Rovers, needed a second operation and cannot fully extend his right knee because of the problems, it was said.
Wiley was asked to leave the club after a consultant surgeon insisted he had nothing more to do with the player, it was claimed.
The tribunal was adjourned because the hearing ran out of time yesterday.
It will probably resume in either March or April.

“I think it's atrocious that a story such as this has been published before a final decision has been made and without putting John's side of the story forward. I have been a patient of John's and he's the best physio I've used in ten years of using physio's. I just hope that this needless publicity actually works in his favour in the end.”
