I don't think it's been mentioned that next week Shaun is having what he's matter of factly called "a bone graft followed by a back fusion and then two steel rods fitted" which will be followed by about six months rehab.
Good luck and get well soon.
-
He'll probably decide when he's feeling better, rip the steel rods out, then run it off.
Man of steel.
-
Good luck Shaun.. great guy and top quality Villa hero.
-
Good luck and get well soon.
Absolutely.
Do you know if that's a problem stemming from his playing days or something else?
-
Shaun Teale , Man of Steel.
Best of luck to him.
He gave 100% for The Villa. Here's to a full and speedy recovery.
-
Best of luck. He and the big man were together when I first started going down regularly and he was such a committed guy. Hope it all goes well. Proper footballer.
-
Good luck and get well soon.
Absolutely.

Don't know, but players are liable to such problems.
-
We'll see him on fb even more often then. All the best dude.
-
All the best and get well soon Shaun.
-
Amazingly to be confused with some snot nosed kid from Skins on Google.
-
Good luck and get well soon.
Absolutely.

Don't know, but players are liable to such problems.
That's what I thought, especially with the way he played and the length of his career. Hope he's OK.
-
Get well soon Shaun.

Going off at a slight tangent I read tonight that footballers are 1,000 times more likely to suffer from osteoporosis than any other occupation. That's something to remember when we complain about their wages.
-
A great defender and a proper Villa legend in my book. Will always remember his goal against Boro in the 5-1 home win. Get well soon big man!
-
Good luck to him,great player for us,and a great lower league signing,something that is sadly over looked nowadays.
-
Get well soon Shaun.
Whenever I think of him I always think of the header and penalty against Tranmere.
-
Best of luck.
-
Teale was a beast and gave everything, every game. Only a few defenders are privileged enough to be carved from granite, and he was the perfect partner for the great man next to him. Good luck Shaun with the rehab.
-
-
Get well soon Shaun.

I seem to remember him doing the same in his own net against Forest though. Still... we won 3-1! Top guy. The only Villa player to appear on the Big Breakast.

Sorry but no it is not,I would do what they did for nothing everyday of the week for free,for pretty much any risk.
Get well soon Shaun a man that the phrase run through brick walls was made for.
-
Get well soon.
-
All he very best to him. He was solid for us. An all-time favourite of mine.
-
Brilliant player. Best wishes for a speedy recovery.
-
Does this mean that after the op you will be ready to come back Shaun. We NEED you!
Good luck for a full and quick recovery .
-

I never knew that. Did it give the medical reason? My assumption would be that a career of any athlete dedicated to weight-bearing exercise during your teens and twenties would build high bone density.
-
I met him once when he was manager of Burscough. Top bloke.
-
hello Villa fans i thought it only right that i sign up so i can thank you all for the kind words you all posted, i will keep everyone upto date on here and FB and Twitter take care and enjoy the game today Villa 2 Everton 1 UTV
-
Welcome to the site, Shaun.
-
Welcome from me too Shaun and I hope all goes well and the recovery sees you back to full health.
Oh for you in the middle of the back four this afternoon!!
Loved the montage up there ^ too!
-
Will never forget when that diving header went in. Easily the best game of football I've ever been at, a magical day, even better than the final for me.

I agree Risso, better than the final for me too, Villa Park absolutely rocking like it should.
I'm lucky enough to say Rotterdam shades it though......
Oh for those days again.
-
Same for me, Risso. What a day.
Good luck, Shaun. You always gave the impression that you loved the opportunity that the Villa gave you to play in the top flight and gave everything to the cause. I just wish that quite a few of those who've passed through the home dressing room since shared that attitude and commitment. We'd be a much more successful, happier club if they had/did.
-
The first, and only name I've ever had on the back of my Villa shirt was Teale. An immense defender, and more than useful at set plays, as was shown with the goal against Tranmere, such desire to get on the end of the cross and an excellent finish.
Shaun Teale man of Steel is also quite possible the bext cartoon strip that H&V has ever done.
Make a swift recovery Shaun
-
Half of the best defensive pairing i've seen down there. Get well soon big man.
-
he could still do a good job in our back four
-
Best of luck Shaun and here's to a comfortable and complete recovery
-
All the best Shaun. Please stick around. Now, about that tache...
-
Good luck and get well soon.

I think you have mis-read that. They are more likely to get osteoarthritis (arthritis due to wear and tear) than osteporosis which is bone thinning. Osteoporosis is linked to lack of exercise (bone mass increases with exercise) and loss of oestrogen - hence common in grannies not retired footballers!
Back on track - sounds as if Mr. Teale has a arthritic lower back with some of the vertebrae slipping over each other!
-
Wow, a Villa player posting on here...has it ever happened before?
All the best Shaun, I see from twitter you're still in touch with your old defensive partner.
-
All the best for the surgery, Shaun and I hope you are completely recovered and bouncing around as soon as possible, afterwards! Thanks for the Villa years!
-
I've exchanged messages with Shaun on facebook a few times, he's a bloody top bloke and clearly still loves the Villa. Get well soon matey!
Warnock wouldn't be performing as bad as he is at present if he'd got Shaun alongside him that's for sure.
-
Great player and great man. Wouldn't surprise me if he was carrying out the operation himself.
All the best Shaun. Wishing you a full and complete recovery.
-
Best wishes Shaun, a true Villa man too.

Sorry, my mistake, it was osteoarthritis.
-
Shaun Teale is a Villa legend and even minutes after he wakes after surgery he would not concede from a corner as readily as the current overpaid incumbents.
-
Shaun Teale, one of my favourites who has put on the shirt.
All the best Mr Teale.
-
Good luck Shaun Teale. Never forget that header v Tranmere. The last Great Day of the Holte.
I even went to see him play v That Lot at the Sty for Tranmere after he left (Villa were away v QPR I think). Wish he was 20 years younger and still donning the Claret and Blue. All the best.
-
Good on yer Shaun and thanks for the memories.
He should have been our player of the year the season he signed for us, 91/92 I think. I told Ron Atkinson too at a players forum. It went to McGod and Froggatt got the Young Player but I'd had a few and told Big Ron he should have given it to Teale (as we expected little and recieved a lot) and Yorke (who'd been brilliant but not had many starts after Xmas).
Terrific player and still the biggest thighs of seen on a professional footballer.
-
One of my villa faves when I was a youngster, I can remember meeting him when I went on one of the villa soccer schools things in Tamworth up at quems, still got my picture with him somewhere. They don't make defenders like Teale anymore. Plus He had a great 'tache (soemthing missing in the modern game)
Hope everything goes well Shaun
-
Shaun Teale was hard as nails. Not dirty hard, just genuinely hard. And a very good defender too. His partnership with McGrath was right up there with Evans and McNaught. He will probably turn down the offer of anesthetic for the op. Get well soon.
-
A great player who always worked hard, get well soon Shaun!
