THE days of two-month summer breaks and boozy trips to Magaluf have long been a thing of the past for elite level footballers, but we are at the time of the season where you might hear the odd moan and groan from one or two of them about the fact they often have a fortnight off between the end of one campaign and the start of the next.
You won’t hear any grumbling from David Turnbull though, who is eager to make up for lost time after a hamstring injury claimed a significant chunk of his season, and is delighted to have timed his return to action to coincide with a massive period for both club and country.
