When Jim White met Ryan Mason: Listen to the full interview exclusively on talkSPORT from 10am on Wednesday
Ryan Mason has thanked Petr Cech for helping him recover from a life-threatening head injury and says the Arsenal goalkeeper has ‘set the standards for what it is to be a proper man’.
Hull star Mason almost died following a horrific clash with Gary Cahill in a Premier League match last January.
The 26-year-old, who needed oxygen on the pitch, fractured his skull in the incident and required emergency brain surgery.
Thankfully he is now on the road to recovery and, in an exclusive interview with talkSPORT’s Jim White, heaped praise on Cech, who himself underwent surgery for a depressed skull fracture in October 2006 following a collision with Reading’s Stephen Hunt.
