Some footballer (can't remember who) dropped a glass jar on his foot and it busted him up. That was awkward to say the least.

think he was a goalkeeper, didnt he miss the world cup or a cup final or something

i think the argentinian goalkepper ( whoever it was in 1990) did something similar, he caught his ring over one of the hooks that run along the top of the crossbar and took his finger off

Didn't Carlton Cole injure himself reaching for the TV remote? And someone else injured themselves stretching after waking up..

Surely his anús must have already been weakened in order for that to happen? Probably got destroyed by Chyna, if you know what I mean.

Santiago Cañizares. He'd earned his place as Spain's starter going into the 2002 World Cup and dropped a bottle of aftershave lotion on his foot, badly gashing it. He had to be dropped and it opened the door for Casillas to be Spain's no.1 at the tournament.

Paul Wood from Warrington Wolves ruptured a testiclé and needed it removed... think there was a footballer from Gillingham this happened too as well.

While not particularly funny (for them anyway)... it's about as horrifically strange an injury as i can think of

Brazilian player Ramalho was laid up in bed for three days after swallowing a giant pill he had been prescribed for a dental infection. Unfortunately for the player it was supposed to be administered anally.

I remember Cudincini got injured walking his dog once.

My mate sent me rotten picture of his mate who thought it was a good idea to surf down the stairs on an ironing board while anesthetised on K, literally ripped a gash from his hole about 6 inches up his cheek about half an inch wide, it was absolutely gruesome. Reminded me a few weeks ago watching one of those silly shows ‘Sunny Beach’ I think ti was called on a club 18-30 style thing and some idiot put a fire cracker up his A and ripped himself a new one.

Frank Ribery requiring buttock surgery.

Ripped my butt at a game 11 a side that I had ran too when I got tripped running full speed. Was painful for weeks had to walk home too.

Split the bone between my pinkie and other finger when sliding onto a through ball to poke it in the net and decided that my hand would go through the post, it did not. Took a few xrays before they realised that the hard lump was not my knuckle but in fact where all the fluid out the bone had leaked.

Had a shearing injury where i tore all the skin of my foot from my heal to the fold under my big toe. Didnt realise how bad it was till i took my indoor footie shoes off and my sock was soaked with blood. Was given stuff for burns victims to treat it. Before seeing it, at first the doctor shook his head when i described it to him as a "blister".

Broke my arm executing a rare slide tackle on a frozen pitch.

You're right about Canizares, but I think the player Dunc was referring to might be Dave Beasant - he dropped a bottle of ketchup on his foot and stupidly tried to play keepy-uppy with it.

Former England striker Vassell picked up an infection and had to have a portion of his nail removed after attempting to drain a blood blister on his foot with a power drill. He finally saw sense and sought proper medical attention after realising he wasn't a surgeon.

I'm starting to wonder if Diaby's injuries are because he hacked off a sorcerer or something.

All this is making me cringe

Dunno if I'd class it as strange, but I might be one of the youngest people ever sustaining a serious injury playing football. I was just 2 years old, I tripped over a ball trying to kick it and broke my thigh. Spent two months in hospital, during which I also contracted measles!

you should really stop playing

I once tried to cut a bad blister on the ball of my foot using a pair of scissors. Backfired spectacularly and now i have a scar on the ball of my foot.

I remember Ever Banega getting a major injury last year, when he was run over by his own car while filling up petrol.
