Daft Friday: How Can Professional Footballers Do This!

Views: 587 | | Flag | Print |

Kirk Broadfoot of Rangers has had a run-in with a poached egg which exploded scalding his cheek. How do footballers manage it! Here's a few more daft accidents.

Goalkeepers Dave Beasant and Santiago Canizares both dropped glass bottles and damaged their feet attempting to 'control' them as they fell. Canizares' bottle contained aftershave, while Beasant's was full of salad cream.


England stars Rio Ferdinand, David Seaman and David James have all been injured while watching the television.

Former England midfielder David Batty damaged his Achilles when his young son ran him over with a tricycle.


Darius Vassell and Charlie George injured their toes with a drill and a lawnmower respectively.


Last year, Italy midfielder Gennaro Gattuso dislocated every finger in his left hand after falling down a hole between two dug-outs in training.

In 1975, Manchester United goalkeeper Alec Stepney dislocated his jaw shouting at his defenders.

Earlier this season, Stoke midfielder Liam Lawrence twisted his ankle when he tripped over his dog.

Portuguese league player Igor broke his leg in 2006 when he and team-mate Bechara botched a free-kick routine; both went to strike the ball and collided.
