May-Z Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 I had a lot of time for Baker. There's a chance that if he came into the team at a different time next to an experienced CB he may have gone on to play longer in the Prem. Retiring from a head injury is the most Nathan Baker thing ever! All those bricks he kept heading back like in his song. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think he got concussed once or twice for us. Good luck to him in whatever he does next as he's had time to plan post retirement at least. Always liked him and the fact he didn't give a shit if he got a boot in the face. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villarule123 Posted August 29, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted August 29, 2022 How ironic that a head injury has cut his career short. All the best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ciggiesnbeer Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Always put his body (usually his head) on the line. All the best Nathan. Bloke had the worst luck with head injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Hopefully he managed to stash away some of the millions he made and can have a long and healthy retirement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Blimey let’s hope he can recover. Always put his body (head) on the line and unfortunately has now suffered from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember I was sat in the Holte against Arsenal early 2014 and from a corner he took a ball straight to the face and was out cold for a few moments. Always sacrificing himself for the team, don't see much of that anymore these days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
