WIMBORNE Town wrecked the 100 per cent record of table-toppers Gosport Borough with a 2-1 victory but their celebrations were marred by a horrific injury to midfielder Mark Walker.
Walker, making only his second start for the Magpies, fell awkwardly after 80 minutes when his studs got stuck in the Cuthbury pitch and he dislocated his ankle.
The game was for held up for 25 minutes while the stricken Walker received treatment on the pitch before being rushed off to hospital.
Walker's teammate, striker Gareth Barnes, said: "It's a terrible thing to happen to such a nice bloke. It was horrific and I couldn't look - his foot was facing the wrong way."
Stuart Cooper fired Wimborne into a 20th-minute lead after Walker's shot had been parried by the keeper, and Nick Plank added a second on 47 minutes with a firm drive from the edge of the penalty area.
Adam Camfield pulled a goal back for Borough but they were unable to salvage a point.
