Fingers crossed for him that this retirement is just that he think he'll be too old by the time he fully recovers rather than anything more long term Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully he makes a full recovery. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 according to tranfermarkt its his 3rd head injury/concussion but I am sure was games he played for us that he came off with a concussion and was included in the next game/squad so they probably werent included As a player I always liked him, he always gave his all compared to some of his teammates. Wish him well and hope he recovers and leads a happy life. Maybe we could bring him in as a youth coach if he was interested in it 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully he makes a full recovery. I took your word for it, but not according to the club statement! The good news is it sounds like he's alright and it's precautionary to prevent further issues, but he's well and will be able to live a good life as long as he stops banging his head on things https://www.bcfc.co.uk/news/baker-retires-from-professional-football/ Quote The 31-year-old will step away from the game as a consequence of the head injury he sustained at Sheffield United on November 28th, 2021. Baker was hospitalised for 24 hours following the incident and has since been undergoing tests, treatment and recuperation in an effort to resume his career. Having assessed his progression over a period of nine months, Nathan has been advised by medical professionals that to carry on playing at a professional level would represent a significant risk to his ongoing and future health. He is currently well, without any neurological or cognitive issues, but is likely to be monitored with further Neuro-Psychology testing in the future.

The_Steve Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Players need proper medical and concussion protocols - this will sadly keep happening. 31 is too young to retire from the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomaszk Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 I swear Baker went down for treatment after whacking his head literally every game for us. At least. 75% of matches I'd say. Bombed out so we could sign John Terry for one year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked NB but every game i almost expected him to give away a penalty or get injured...or get injured giving away a penalty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Replacing a sub standard, injury prone player with one of the best to ever play in that position in this country, who also the played a major part in changing the culture here from that of losers to winners, resulting in us getting back into the PL soon after.
