Paul Robinson on Alan Smith’s injury.

“My heart went out to Alan and no-one likes to see an injury like that in football, no matter who it is,” said Robinson. “Obviously it hits a bit harder when it is one of your close friends.

“Myself and everyone at Spurs wish him well and as I said straightaway, if anyone can come back from something like that, it’s Alan Smith.

“It wasn’t a bad tackle, just a freak incident, there was no-one even close to him. It just shows you never know what’s around the corner in this game.”
