Former Liverpool defender Andre Wisdom has revealed the devastating impact that being stabbed had on his professional career - admitting he is still unable to get the best performance levels out of his body nearly three years after the incident.
The 29-year-old defender, who joined Liverpool as an academy prospect in 2008 and spent a further nine years at Anfield before leaving for Derby County in 2017, was stabbed in June 2020 by a group in balaclavas after attending a house party in Toxteth.
After refusing to surrender his watch to the masked gang in the early hours of the morning, Wisdom was stabbed repeatedly in the left and right side of his buttocks before he was able to flee the scene and make his way back home. It was only once driving away from the scene, Wisdom says, that he realised he had been stabbed multiple times with a blade.
