tompo Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 There has been a recent spate of players picking up injuries during the pre match warm up, including Basso.Richard Wright of Everton surely deserves the award for the most bizarre injury of all. Last night he fell over a board in the goal mouth that was placed there to warn players not to warm up in the goal mouth.Have any City (or even opposing) players picked up injuries in peculiar circumstances?

Guest Tactical Genius Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 Andy Leaning's father whacked him over the shoulder with a garden spade when he was at Chesterfield. Leaning was forking the vegetable patch at the bottom of his garden, the garden backed onto a electricity sub-station, his old man mistook the shaking of his shoulders to be the effects of electricity rather than of hard labour. Fractured his shoulder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fractured his shoulder.Andy Leaning, away in Oxford in the Milk/Littlewoods/Whatever cup - early 90's (I think) was one of the best performances I have ever seen from a City keeper. Milne scored a screamer - I think Saunders scored their goal - a rebound off the bar that hit Leaning on the back & went in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Tactical Genius Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 Of course there was a certain M Stewart who suffered a "freak collision" on the Ipswich training ground.Not sure if a swift punch to the jaw can be described as a freak collision, and there were a few players wives who were made to stay well away from him for good measure.

22A Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 Going back a few years; Mick Halsall, skipper of Posh, tripped over the vacuum whilst cleaning the stairs and was out for three weeks. That was mentioned on our local radio. A Rovers player had to go off just before kick off as he was stung by a bee. It was in the EP at the time.

Admin Maesknoll Red Posted February 9, 2006 Admin Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 How about Lee Matthews tripping over a balde of grass and being out injured for most of the season. Incfact how many matches did he actually play for us for 90 minutes?? If only he could stay fit. 14 starts for us 29 sub appearances = 9 goals. 21 starts 12 sub appearances for PV = 10 goals. He would be some striker at this level if he could actually play 95% of games every season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Blue Heart Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 One of your centre backs injured his back putting on his underpants before a Bristol Derby. He always got a right old beating from Devon White and this was a blatant fake as he couldn't handle facing Bruno again.Can't remember his bloody name though..... but then all your centre backs blur into a mist of poo to be honest....

BB. Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 David Busst's injury when he went in for a challenge with Peter Sheimceal at Old Trafford!His leg was at a right angle! Ouch! :vomit2: Peter Shemiceal chucked up on the pitch!More of a messed up injury than a bizarre injury though.It was the end of Busst's career... I think he's coaching kids or something now, I'm not sure though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's coaching kids or something now, I'm not sure though.He's manager at Evesham.Whilst not technically an injury, Kieron Dyer missed a number of games suffering with what was described in the media as a "mystery virus", and described by supporters as "the clap" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedTop Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 Would this be a good time to bring up the 'Bridges tripping over whilst walking his dog' incident? Would this perchance also be an appropriate place to bring up boozed-up Lee Peacock doing in his shoulder falling off a bar stool while on holiday in Spain one summer, an inspired choice of priorities which put himself out of contention for ages at the start of the following campaign?

Northern Red Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 They did a feature about this on the local news up here last night. The top one was the golfer Sam Torrence, who was sleepwalking in the middle of the night, and walked out to his back garden and fell over a plant pot, fracturing his sternum (rib cage) in the process.

Port Said Red Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 I seem to remember that Keith Fear missed some games when he got out of bed one morning and stood on a 3 inch nail!
