David Turnbull confesses the gut-wrenching late collapse that denied him a move to Celtic may have SAVED his career. The Motherwell midfielder was poised to seal a £3.25million move to Parkhead following a topsy-turvy summer in which he initially appeared destined for Norwich City.
It all fell apart in heartbreaking fashion for the 20-year-old when a Celtic medical in Manchester uncovered an issue with the cartilage in his knee which, gone untreated, could have resulted in a devastating injury.
The clubs got back around the negotiating table but were unable to strike another deal based on the new information and Turnbull received the news that the transfer was off around a week later.
