From WIKI
In 2008, Welsh began legal proceedings against Doctor Malcolm Morrison, who was employed as Hibernian club doctor during Welsh's time with the club.[2] It was claimed that "an injection given...ruined his career".[2] An out-of-court settlement for a "substantial sum" was reached on 30 April 2008.[2]

He was seeking £350,000 compensation. If he got full amount I'd be willing to wager legal fees would put settlement (plus costs) in region of £500,000.

Likely to be from the doctor's defence union, rather than HFC coffers

[Gala Foxes]

Doctors and other professionals (lawyers etc) take out Professional Indemnity Insurance to cover claims when clients sue them

Covered by insurance job shirley?

:agree: It was most certainly his insurers, not Hibs, and it was Welsh v the doctor not Welsh v Hibs.

one of the above figures is the exact one I was told. it was the one with the most zero's:greengrin
but I was told he only got his cash this week? would seem a long wait if the court found in his favour in 2008?

I watched Welsh play for Hibs and believe me it was the fans who should have had the pain killing injections
