Injured caddy Billy Foster admits he is devastated at missing out on what he believes could be a defining summer for Lee Westwood.

The Keighley-born bagman to the world number three faces up to six months on the sidelines after tearing knee ligaments in America.

Foster sustained the injury in a kickabout before a charity football match between caddies and a local side in Charlotte, North Carolina, in the build-up to last week’s Fargo Wells Fargo Championship.

The 46-year-old said: “The hard thing is not the financial consequences – it is hard but I can get my head round that – the worse thing is we have worked so hard to get to this place.

Phil Jones has been surprised at the number of appearances he has made for Manchester United in his first season at Old Trafford.

Sir Alex Ferguson splashed out £18million to sign Jones from Blackburn last summer. It was envisaged United would ease the Chorley-born player in gradually but partly through his performances and partly through injuries elsewhere, Jones has been thrown in at the deep end.

“And he was well supported by Mark Pettini, who was also excellent, and I also thought that Billy Godleman batted well at the top of the order.

“You feel for your team mate. No one wants to see anyone go through surgery,” Knicks center Tyson Chandler told reporters.

Many football fans either love him or they hate him. Sir Alex Ferguson is football’s version of marmite. He is synonymous with Premier League football; you almost can’t mention past seasons of Premier years gone by without mentioning the success Sir Alex has achieved with Manchester United.

The saying goes “form is temporary, class is permanent” and now he’s on the cusp of achieving a twelfth Premier League title. Players have been and gone, the boardroom has had heavy upheaval but one person has kept the club like its name – united throughout.
