There have been some pretty nasty ones down the years but I've just heard one that is particularly nasty. Blackburn defender Scot Dann is set to spend time on the sidelines after he suffered a ruptured testicle. OOOOOOOOF!!!

****ing OOOOOOOF. You can just imagine the poor chap standing there, in the split second before the pain kicks in. Thinking... OOOOOOOF.
Anyone else notice the Schmiechel one? Or has the internetz totally anesthetized me to horrific images? He quite clearly is genuinely shocked, but the footballing part of his brain threw the ball out for a throw in rather than a corner.
Bert Trautmann's broken neck for me in the 1956 Cup Final (Man. C. v Birmingham). He dived at Murphy's feet and Murphy's shin hit him on the base of the neck. Incredibly, Bert played the game out with a broken neck! He'd been an ex-prisoner-of-war camped somewhere near St. Helen's. The camp played a friendly against St. Helen's Town, and he so impressed them that they asked him to sign for them when war ended rather than go back to Germany. He wasn't long with them when Man. City signed him up. If that wasn't an investment well repaid, I don't know what was!
