Has injured his dodgy knees again... Carlisle 1-0 Oldham Carlisle won the Isle of Man tournament with a narrow victory over Oldham, thanks to a single Adam Murray goal. Murray was on target with a 25-yard free-kick in the 27th minute, and was named as man of the match while Derek Holmes was player of the tournament. However, for Oldham the game was marred in the second half when striker Luke Beckett was carried off with suspected medial knee ligament damage. In the third place play-off, Port Vale beat the Isle of Man side 4-0.
The story goes That the reason Hull didn't sign him was that he was only one tackle away from a career threatening knee injury. Allegedly and all that.
