*Olofinjana
Blackstock is seeking High Court damages over a career-threatening injury he claims is due to a negligent tackle.
The
27-year-old former England youth international is seeking the
compensation from Olofinjana and his former club, Cardiff City, over a
tackle in November 2010, which put him out of the game for 15 months
with a 'horrific' knee injury.
Blackstock is
seeking damages for being deprived of the chance of earning bonuses for
15 months, as well as the right to further compensation should the
injury end his career early.
The amount that Blackstock is claiming has not been specified in the writ, other than that it exceeds £50,000.
The
defences to the action of Olofinjana and Cardiff City were not
available from the court, and the contents of the writ have yet to be
tested in evidence before a judge.
