Booster as Booth eyes reserves showdown

Jan 5 2009 by Dougie Thomson, Huddersfield Daily Examiner

ANDY BOOTH could make Wednesday’s reserve match at Hartlepool.

But manager Lee Clark warned that there will be no risks taken with the Town strike legend as he returns from back surgery.

Clark revealed that the 34-year-old, who has bagged 144 goals for Town and 178 over his career, had come through a full training session unscathed.

And further work-outs today and tomorrow will hold they key to a totesport.com league appearance against Pools.

“We will talk with our medical department and see whether Wednesday’s game is too soon for him or not,” explained Clark.

“Andy had his first day of training with the full squad on Friday and enjoyed himself – it’s always better to be back with all the players than doing the individual rehabilitation, although you have to go through that.
