Crewe Alex fans support player sidelined by horror injury with heartfelt card
Crewe Alex supporters rallied behind forward Shilow Tracey, sidelined by a horror leg fracture, with a heartfelt card they signed inside the club shop.
Tracey sustained the injury in Crewe's 4-1 home defeat to Fleetwood Town on Tuesday 4 March, taking the full force of a challenge from The Cod's Danny Mayor.
The 26-year-old suffered a broken leg close to the home dugout, shocking Alex players, staff and fans.
Tracey was given medical attention on the pitch and was stretchered off following a 10-minute halt to the EFL League Two match.
Crewe's number 10 was soon taken to hospital via ambulance from Gresty Road.
The following day, Tracey underwent a successful operation putting him on the long road to recovery.
Following Tracey's injury, Crewe Alex supporter, Tracy Bee, took the lead on organising a giant card for fellow fans to sign within the club shop.
The card, reading: "Shilow Tracey we're all behind you" on the front cover, gained well over 100 messages from supporters across 10 days.
On 18 March, Crewe Alex players presented Tracey with the card at the club's Reaseheath training ground, leaving him lost for words.
A Crewe Alex spokesperson told Nub News: "We thought this was a lovely gesture from the supporters and were happy to help organise a card with our friends at Hybrid Services.
"We would like to thank Tracy [Bee] and her fellow supporters for taking the lead on this and along with everybody at the football club wish Shilow Tracey all the best for his recovery."
