Franco a doubt for Portsmouth clash on New Year's Day

After two home wins in three days it should be all good news for the Swans but they may have been dealt a blow with the news that midfielder - and scorer of two

It's Fulton's opportunity to prove he's every bit as good as him . . . . . .

I knocked a few teeth out playing rugby, forgot my gum shield but thought I would chance it. Took a boot in the mouth teeth came out whole but the coach knew what to do - clean them off, soak them in milk which he got from the clubhouse and then push them back into the holes in the gum. Whisked off to the dentist holding my teeth in place with my hand, they glued some plastic over the teeth and to the roof of my mouth and told me to eat soup for a month. Tape taken off and x-rays showed that the teeth started to bed back in. Rugby and footy career over from that point onwards, as was biting into apples.

Professional footballers nowadays need to toughen up...

I got a smack in the mouth playing football in my teens. My teeth didn’t make it and although they didn’t come out at first the bottom four at the front all needed root canals. Been thirty of years now and they’re still there but need drilling out every couple of years for a drop of bleach to reverse the discolouring. The back ones have been long replaced with a bridge which snapped many years ago. The only solution for me is to have expensive implants and veneers eventually, and I should imagine it will be the same for Franco.

I suspect even without the club covering the costs Franco is probably good for it himself anyway

Can't see why few misaligned teeth should stop his legs working properly on Weds.

I can't see him playing, he's bound to still be in a bit of discomfort from whatever dental work he's had done since the injury.

I feel I need to share my story how I lost some of my teeth. I didn't brush well and eat too many sweets. It's a simple tale. But one that needs to be shared. No gruesome hard man story here. Maybe Franco can lend me some money. . Joking aside, got to give him credit for trying to play on yesterday. Hopefully he will be back soon. We'll need him, as Fulton passes backwards not forwards. Gulp.

Ffs it’s only a few of teeth.

I've heard about players playing with a broken neck, achille ruptures and proper head wounds.. some have fractured a bone and played on as if nothing happened.. get the gum shield out and play on mun

I'm not judging Franco's situation, but Bert Troutman played on with a broken neck!
