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!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
That is a grim story.

That goalie must be able to jump quite high to catch his ring on a hook on the cross bar

I can't remember a thing about the whole affair, but as a knock-on effect, my mum was injured too. One day she turned up at the hospital with a Matchbox ambulance, and I apparently threw it at her in a fit of rage, giving her a black eye. All I can say about that is "I didn't see it".

I also had a bad blister on my arch after a half marathon years and years ago, but decided I would keep running as i had another race a few weeks later. After a week or two of running and putting weight on the outside of my foot to avoid the blister I in the end put my knee out of alignment which caused bone fragments to break off behind the kneecap. This resulted in when going for walks with my girlfriend, me having to pop my kneecap into place every 100 yards or so. It still pops out once or twice a month these days.

Talking of Phil Babb I remember a Chelsea Liverpool game where Casiraghi scored and Babb was desperately trying to get back and made a last ditch attempt to slide back, it was a slippery surface and he hammered his nuts on the post as each leg went either side, ouch. Think it is on youtube.

I actually injured myself watching football once. I remember having to tell my PE teacher the next day I was unable to play and he asked me why, I tried to explain how watching England in a WC penalty shootout made me clench my buttocks so hard that I had a serious strain and still had a huge cramp.

Anybody ever put their back out sneezing? I did that once. I was only 23 at the time. Shameful.

I have.

More embarrassing still, I put it out really badly at a water park riding the slow river on a rubber ring.

I was once going for a tap in and the defender came flying in towards me off the ground and studs showing. I wisely got out of the way and the defender flew past where he though he was going to get me and slid into the post between his legs. The result was a crushed nut. And to add insult to injury he scored an own goal.

Wasn't Rio out a few weeks with a dead leg due to him resting his foot on a coffee table?

Richard Wright injuring himself at Stamford Bridge during the warm up after falling over a sign saying Do Not Warm Up Here

Last summer I ruptured a tendon in my hand by going over my handlebars when a kid playing football ran in front of my bike.

I have a flappy big toe after it got broken during a game of fives. Now it flaps holes in the top of my running shoes.

I broke 3 bones in my hand after knocking it against a post in an under 16 cup final. I say final, more pre-match warm up before the final. Wouldn't have been an issue but I was playing in goal

Double whammy too as I had tickets for Oasis at Maine Rd but sold them on after winning the semi, so missed both the final and the gig!

Admin has been in the wars

My most shameful injury was breaking my arm while skiing. Now some of you may say "But Simon thats a cool way to break a bone, skiing is dangerous!". Well you would say that but the fact was i had come to a complete stop and was talking with a friend, and as i was moving away tripped over my own skies

Last year I cut my head open in a tickle fight with my mum

But I'm not actually good enough to play football anyway so it didn't have any affect. Just kinda embarrassing, got a bit weird when her finger went near my bumhole and I just had to run away and fell and banged my head

New Year's Day 2001 I think, it had been snowing and about two in the morning a bunch of mates decided we should go have a game of footy.

All ran up the hill to the playing field at the top of my estate, massively pizzed up; I staggered across the road, but forgot to step up the kerb at the other side: broken ankle.

Then tried, unsuccessfully, to run it off before just lying in the snow watching my mates play. Woke up the next day in the worst pain of my life. Probably mitigated an epic hangover at least

I have seen this before also. Friend climbed a small fence to get the ball that had entered the field behind the goal. As he climbed back over he stumbled a little, didnt seem too bad, we told him to run it off. After 5 minutes he said he was in loads of pain - later found out he had broke his ankle also. As you can imagine we werent his best friends for a while.............

Wtf

went up to win a high ball once and got completely clattered. went down holding my faking an injury, only to realise moments later that the bone in my arm was sticking out due to my awkward fall

*holding my face faking an injury.

shameful sergio busquets school of acting

I once collided with the goal post and broke my kneecap. We were losing 6-1 and in the last minute of the game their CF, who'd scored about 4 already, went round the goalie and was just about to put it in the empty net. I thought 'oh no, your not getting the better of me!' (despite him embarrassing me throughout), so I slid in and cleared it off the line, only for me to bash the post.

The manager then came on with cold water and a sponge to rub my knee better and tried to get me to carry on as 'there is only a minute left, you'll be alright'. I was out for months and to make matters worse, it was a week before my 18th birthday, so I was on crutches and in plaster for that. I'd only just started played again after missing almost a year due to a cartilage op on my other knee.

i once put my back out when i shivered... thats even less manly than sneezing

also during a game i hit a belting shot from 10 yards, caught it sweet on the volley.
the ball hit the post then hit the keeper straight in the face before going back into the net.

i ran off singing ive scored off the keepers face

the game was then halted while an ambulance was called because the keeper was out stone cold

From Jason Manford:

Jason's friend at school, Ross Taylor, slid in for a tackle and dislocated his hip. The ambulance man did the thing you do for a dislocation: first pull hard, and then push back even harder, to get the ball of the thigh bone back into the socket in the pelvis. Unfortunately for Ross though, one of his testicles had slipped into the socket . . .

I heard about that

Didn't they have to pull his leg back out of the socket to retrieve the trapped bolluck?
