BLACKBURN Rovers' goalkeeper Vince O'Keefe tried to make light of a double leg fracture which threatened to keep him out of the first team for the rest of the year.

"It's not a bad injury for a goalkeeper," he quipped. "We don't normally take a lot of stick on the legs. It's not as if I'm a striker."

Vince broke his left leg in two places during a game against Ipswich Town.
