Daniel Grimshaw sends message to Blackpool supporters following collision last night

Blackpool goalkeeper Daniel Grimshaw was forced off just 20 minutes into their game against Preston North End last night after a heavy collision with Cameron Archer, in which Archer’s knee caught the goalkeeper.

The collision left Grimshaw needing oxygen on the pitch for over ten minutes before being taken off on a stretcher receiving applause from both sets of fans in the ground.

Thankfully, Neil Critchley confirmed last night that Grimshaw was in hospital awake and responsive and the player has received lots of support via twitter following the news.

Grimshaw himself took to Twitter this morning to send a message to the Blackpool fans as he said: “Thank you for all the message of support. I’m feeling okay…I’ll be back as soon as possible.”

Thank you for all the messages of support. I’m feeling okay.. I’ll be back as soon as possible.
