Ryan Mason Hull Injury

Gassin's finest · Feb 13, 2018

Real, real shame. Ryan Mason doesn't get enough credit for what he did at Spurs, he was the first proper proponent of Poch's philosophy. His goal against Forest in the cup, for me, began the turn of the tide for us, and he was a mainstay in that midfield for the rest of the season for a reason.

Big, big thanks to him from me, and I wish him all the best.

maybe applause at 38th minute?

Really sad. He, along with Kane, Bentaleb etc, were part of the group who really made me proud of Spurs again and helped me get over one of the darker periods of my life. I owe him a lot and wish him the biggest success in whatever he chooses to do next

When he first started for us I just love him straight from then on. We knew it, we just knew it, this guy is gonna be the player we Spurs fans love through and through.

Press for the ball, Mason got it. Never give up, Mason got it. This guy embodies the spirit Poch instills all along in today's Spurs; most importantly, he is such a likeable guy. It is such character in Mason that I love Spurs so much, and even more today, because this is just so human, basically.

So gutted seeing this news on Instagram. Never felt so much emotionally from a football player until now. I feel so so so sad for him, but on the other hand I am really really glad for him as well, we all should; for surviving such horrific medical concern and returning back as the Mason we all knew, the lovely person. Just simply as a person, less as a playing footballer. But never mind. What more can we ask after a crucial clash of heads right?!

I'm sure our club will bring him back. This club and our ex-players have a trophy-full cabinet of love for this lad we will always call one of our own.

Gutted to read he's retiring, when he came on the scene I was convinced he was more Spurs than any other player and it showed. So so unlucky with injuries through his career and this retirement just typifies it.

I don't know if he's right for coaching after such a severe head injury, but hopefullly the club can bring him through in some role

Very sad news that he's had to retire but, with the medical advice he's been given the right decision. Let's hope THFC will do the right thing and support him taking his coaching badges.

Sad news to hear. I think it would be great if we could bring him back into the club to help coach some of the youth teams.

GutBucket · Feb 13, 2018

I think he will find some nice job like Jenas or he could try to get coaching licence, Pochettino would take him to watch our youth teams and he seems to be pretty smart with good work ethic. Very unlucky as a player, just when he would start playing well and start scoring some goals he would get injured. Wish him all the best.

Wish him all the best

Makes you realise why players want to negotiate good contracts; it could all be over in an instant for them

For that alone, hope they won't go down.

So gutted for him.

I love that the official site still carries this story in its news archive:

So unfortunate! Good luck to you, Ryan

BT or Sky Sports should snap him up. Such a well spoken, articulate guy who has great knowledge of the game. Would make a fantastic pundit along with Jenas in my opinion.

Really hope he doesn't become a pundit. He seems tailored made to become a top coach. It's vital to develop top English coach as it is to develop top English players, if football in this country is to improve.

'O Zio · Feb 13, 2018

Real shame. Always seemed like a decent lad as well.

Part of me thinks he's been really unlucky to have to end his career like this so young, but then on the other hand I think he's arguably lucky to have come out of it seemingly without any serious brain damage etc.

NorthernYido · Feb 13, 2018

Top player and top man, gutted for him. He's left a positive legacy with the club and I hope one day that can continue in another role.

Woke up in the middle of the night and read the news.
I was totally shocked - honesty I never considered the injury to be so severe, and was sure he will come back sooner or later, and maybe have him back to us when he raises his game enough, or when he retires. Now I am really looking forward to the latter, whenever he's ready.

I recalled at times people here started naming their future captains from the young crop, mostly Kane, Dier, Benteleb and Mason. Mason's always my pick. He's passionate and brave yet not to the point of being stupid (insert that Benteke incident, can't handle it better than that). It always amazed me to hear that he was scoring for fun in the youth game (tbh, not a big fan of his finishing), yet he got his big break in the first season as a CM, even DM a lot of times. Given his injury history and he's still flying his body around and tried his 110%...he really embodied the 'will do anything for the team' motto, and a through and through spur at that.

The 2nd season I really saw his true potential on the offensive end as he's given more responsibility on that side, when he's able to get on the pitch. At times I think he's even Modric like, with a wide range of passing short and long. That stretch before the goal against Sunderland was probably the best I've seen him play, and I was so happy, so happy for him at the time. Unfortunately we all know how it went afterwards.

It's a sad day today for me and countless others, but it's an honor to watched you play for us Ryan. I hope you will be with us again someday, but if not, best wishes to you on whatever you choose to do.

I think Pochettino's success at Tottenham owes a tiny little debt to Mason, a little bit like Ferguson does to Mark Robins.

He was instrumental in two very pivotal moments early in Poch's reign. He came on and changed a cup game with a bit of magic, and then having earned his chance to play, him and Bentaleb were the driving force in that seminal dismantling of Arsenal later on in that first season. That was the game that really cemented Poch as the real deal for me, one of my favourite games of all time, and still probably my favourite Poch game.

He wasn't perfect, but Mason's attitude epitomised the ethos Poch was trying to instil in those early days, dynamic, brave with and without the ball. (In fact his willingness to go in where it hurts cost him his place with us and ultimately his career) I'm still a bit disappointed he left, I definitely think there was a role for him as an 6/8 type who could be more pro-active with his passing whilst still being tenacious without the ball.

I would love to see him get his badges, and come back here to coach the academy, he's a bright lad who's attitude and approach fits the club and he's a Spurs lad too.

#thfc Poch says 'the door is open' for Ryan Mason to return to Spurs as a coach. "Don't worry Ryan, you're going to be a successful person outside the pitch," he says.

Poch on Ryan Mason: "Ryan has been at the training ground in recent days. We have been talking to him with John McDermott. He will be successful in whatever he does. He will always be a special player for me."
