I AM sure I am not alone in wishing ex-York City player Chris Hogg a speedy recovery and also to commend his public-spirited actions (January 6).

Given the track record of his present employers, Ipswich Town, with regard to both nurturing and promoting youngsters to first team football, Chris should soon get a chance to continue his development, quite possibly in the Premiership.

Certainly he deserves our best wishes wherever his future may lie.
