Many people remember when James Beattie fell down his stairs and broke his ribs and some will remember when Mark Fish fell through a glass table and broke his hand/wrist, but the news today that Chris Whelpdale had his scrotum split open in a challenge against Crawley is a new one to me (http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/16338426.stm). So what I want to know is, what is the strangest or most painful footballing injury that you can remember? I think poor Mr Whelpdale's will take some beating.
My mate once dislocated his finger whilst pumping up a football. Dunno how he did it but at first it was ****ing hilarious and then we saw his finger and drove him to A n E. Lol
I'm not sure if it actually was a serious injury in the end but Phil Babb sliding into the goal post looked pretty nasty.
Leroy Lita stretched in bed when he woke up and managed to injure himself - http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/r/reading/6935892.stm
Not football, but this has to be the worst sporting injury that I've seen. He was left paralyzed from the neck down. Don't watch if you don't like blood. [video=youtube;tdP7ybWPI1k]http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=endscreen&NR=1&v=tdP7ybWPI1k[/video]
Not football again, but baseball player Glenallen Hill missed a couple weeks with a bunch of lacerations and bruises after fell down a staircase. While asleep. Because he was having a nightmare about spiders.
