An amateur footballer had been successful in his personal injury claim after being injured during a football match on a waterlogged indoor pitch in 2004.

The 29 year old has been awarded £13,000 after the accident in which he fractured his tibia and shinbone. It took the player 15 weeks to recover from his injuries and he was unable to work during this period.

The football pitch was part of the JJB Sports Soccer Dome at Pride Park.
