Diver’s courage reaps reward

Joe Diver has revealed the extent of a serious eye injury he suffered on honeymoon which threatened his football career.

The Derry midfielder spent two weeks lying face down in bed in a hotel room in Sydney last October after surgery to repair a detached retina.

The freak injury, similar to the one sustained by Tyrone star Brian McGuigan five years ago, has left him with poor vision in his left eye.
