Wolves star Sylvan Ebanks-Blake sues surgeon for millions saying he ended his career by performing operation that he didn't need

A former Premier League football star who claims his top flight career was ended by an operation he did not need is suing a surgeon for millions.

Ex-Wolves striker Sylvan Ebanks-Blake, 37, never played top level football again after going under the knife following a leg break in 2013.

The England U21 star developed arthritis after the surgery, but the footballer claims he was not warned pain and stiffness was a risk of the operation.

He is now suing surgeon Professor James Calder for a potentially massive compensation payout for the premature end to his career.
