Interview with Wallwork's agent on Radio 5 this morning

Said that he believed it was a random attack, that Ronnie was with his girlfriend out for a meal and a drink, and that as he was suspended there was no problem with his club regarding him being out for the evening (was described though as West Brom midfielder, didn't mention him being on loan at Barnsley).
Asked whether he would play football again he said "As a betting man, and knowing the type of character that Ronnie is, I would say he will play again". He said that at the moment Ronnie was in a lot of pain and could barely move but thankfully the major organs were all untouched and the doctors had done an excellent job.
He also said that, whilst he had some players he might expect to get into scrapes, that Ronnie wasn't one of them, said he was a fairly quiet bloke.
