A very descriptive detailing of the injury! Found myself rubbing my knee while reading about it.

Wish you a speedy recovery. England rugby isn’t the same without you in the No.10 shirt. And this is coming from a Sri Lankan rugby supporter.

Shehan, Colombo,

I`m glad to hear that you are keeping your spirits up after this latest injury, you will be soley missed on the pitch. You`ll just have to watch it and get worked up like the rest of us!
All the best with your rehab and looking forward to seeing play again soon, hopfully in an england top!

Pamela , windsor, berks

Don’t worry Jonny, take your time and try to enjoy your life.
You have already done so much; you are a living legend man!!!!
I’m looking forward to see you on the pitch again, because when you are playing you make a difference and is a great pleasure !

Natasha, Genova, Italy

When we like the sport and the pleasure which it gets we never stop. We coach or we play in leisure with the veterans. Then, courage Jonny your career is not fisnished.

SOPHIE, FOS SUR MER, FRANCE

So sad to hear about your injury Jonny. I was looking
forward to watching you play for England, I know you will
be back,so keep your spirits up as you are"Simply the Best".
Rugby is not the same without you!.

Sheila , Chesterfield, Derbyshire

Jonny, I am a huge fan of your awesome achievements and ability but as a hobbling guy of 35 who's knees ache constantly from too much sport, injury and surgery, I know they never really recover stability properly and you still have your whole life ahead of you .. for which you need your knees.

Matt, Paignton, England

Jonny, no doubt you'll come back. 29 is not the age for retiring, besides you belong to those for ever young with a child inside. But I had hoped to see you in Newcastle this October and hardly bought a fly ticket ! Any idea when could you be seen in some kind of training around your club?

Anna Rogalska , Bydgoszcz , Poland

Don't worry Jonny you have England & Newcastle behind you we don't plan on writting you off any time soon! Johnno has big plans for you Mr Wilkinson so you just get fit ASAP the rest will be easy!
Before you know it you will be back in YOUR No 10 shirt kicking Enlgand back to victory!
Untill Then

Rachel, Twickenham, England

'Challenges are what make life interesting; overcoming them is what makes life meaningful' Joshus J. Marine
You dedicated your book to 'the challenges that make life so worthwhile' don't give up!

Rachel, Twickenham, England

Jonny,

luke, innsbruck, austria

Jonny,

I never thought for one moment that this latest injury was the beginning of the end! Good luck with your recovery. Looking forward to seeing you back to your best!

Take care!

Clare , Bristol,

Jonny,

I am sad to read that you'll not probably play for the six nations. You're a great player and i'm sure your career is not finished. Get well and come back to play with Newcastle and England soon.To be on top, french rugby players need to play against you! So be brave and good luck!

Christel, Les Arcs sur Argens, France

Oh Jonny,

Get well, take care, and don't sit on your sandwiches. I know you'll be back as soon as possible.

Diane, South Brent,

This is just more bad luck for JW, just an injury that could happen to any of us rugby players. He was playing the best open play rugby i have seen him play and will come back even better. Lets hope its quicker than the 5 months. The lions need his experience on tour.

Tiernan, Southampton, UK

Stay positive and good luck with the treatment, Jonny. Here's to a quick recovery and lacing up the boots soon!

Michael, Tain, Scotland

Jonny, even though I am a loyal New Zealander and All Blacks supporter NZers have always had such a deep respect for the way you play the game and how you conduct yourself off the pitch too, all the best for a speedy recovery and Im sure you will be interested to see Carter dominate Cipriani soon!

Steve, London,

You are a phenemonally impressive individual who I admire immensely - you also happen to play rugby very well!
I've enjoyed watching you play and look forward to doing that again when you are ready.
Good luck in your rehabilitation.

Fanzo, Worcester,

I'm saying this not just as an England fan but also as a huge fan of the game and the characters that play it. Get better soon Jonny, your presence will be missed. Also enjoy your time away.

Will, Northampton, UK

This is a guy whose heart tells him one thing and his body another. Gerald Davis wrote years ago that Wilkinson would pay for the kamikaze tackles he made in his younger days and these would catch up on him. For his sake, I hope he retires from top-class rugby soon and preserves his great legacy.

David C M, Portsmouth, UK

Hope you get better soon Jonny, you're still one of the best players around and Im sure you will easily get back into the international sides! Good Luck Chuck!

CherryWarrior, Wigan,

Never Give Up Jonny. You have the strength of charecter and the support around you to come back even stronger. Having been ill for some time and knowing how coming back sooner that I should have I know you will come back with power and spirit to fight on. Go watch Caddyshack and get well soon!

Sally, London,

Jonny I am your fan and of course you will be back!
Ignore these people who tell you to stop...you will always
be my inspiration!

Hide, London, UK

Jonny,

Sorry to hear of your latest injury, a blow being the start of the season. Cant wait until your back playing again, something good has got to happen after all these set backs!

Phil, Eastbourne, UK

The time really has come Jonny. The way you play it will just keep happening. You've had a wonderful career, world records galore, but it's time to stop. Apart from anything else it's not fair on Newcastle

David, London, UK

Jonny,

All the best with your rehab - I was very impressed with your early season form, which makes even more of a shame that you're out for a while. I don't doubt you'll be back though. Best of luck!

Oli, London, UK
