Freak injuries sustained by football players
Question:
Source: Interesting read Here we look at some other bizarre injuries sustained by players over the years. RIO FERDINAND: During his spell at Leeds the England defender managed to pick up a tendon strain in his knee watching television. Ferdinand had his foot up on a coffee table for a number of hours and ended up injuring a tendon behind his knee. RICHARD WRIGHT: The Everton goalkeeper faced most of the summer on the sidelines after damaging his shoulder falling through a loft as he was trying to pack away his suitcases. SEAN FLYNN: The then Kidderminster captain suffered a broken nose, busted lip and bruised toes after tripping over his son's toy cars. DAVE BEASANT: The veteran goalkeeper managed to rule himself out for eight weeks in 1993 when he dropped a bottle of salad cream on his foot, severing the tendon in his big toe. SANTIAGO CANIZARES: The Spain goalkeeper missed the 2002 World Cup after accidentally shattering a bottle of aftershave in his hotel sink. A piece of glass fell on his foot, severing a tendon in his big toe. KASEY KELLER: The American international knocked out his front teeth while pulling his golf clubs out of the boot of his car. ALAN WRIGHT: The diminutive former Aston Villa full-back strained his knee by stretching to reach the accelerator in his new Ferrari. He subsequently swapped the sports car for a Rover 416. DAVID JAMES: The England goalkeeper once pulled a muscle in his back when reaching for the television remote control and the keen angler also tweaked his shoulder when trying to land a monster carp. STEVE MORROW: The former Northern Ireland defender broke his collarbone after falling off the shoulders of Tony Adams while celebrating the 1993 League Cup final win against Sheffield Wednesday. ALEX STEPNEY: In 1975 the Manchester United goalkeeper Alex Stepney dislocated his jaw while shouting at his defenders during a match against Birmingham. CHIC BRODIE: The Brentford goalkeeper's career came to an abrupt end in October 1970 when he collided with a sheepdog which had run onto the pitch. Brodie shattered his kneecap while the dog got the ball. ``The dog might have been a small one, but it just happened to be a solid one,'' he reflected. SVEIN GRONDALEN: The Norway defender had to withdraw from an international during the 1970s after colliding with a moose while out jogging. ALAN MULLERY: The England star missed the 1964 tour of South America after injuring his back while brushing his teeth. DAVID BATTY: The former Leeds and Blackburn midfielder managed to re-injure his Achilles tendon when he was run over by his toddler on a tricycle. DARREN BARNARD: The former Barnsley midfielder was sidelined for five months with a torn knee ligament after he slipped in a puddle of his puppy's urine on the kitchen floor. LEE HODGES: The then Barnet player slipped on a bar of soap in the shower and wrenched his groin. CHARLIE GEORGE: Arsenal's 1971 FA Cup hero managed to cut off his toe with a lawnmower. MISTAR: The Indonesian footballer was killed aged just 25 by a stampede of pigs which overran his team's training pitch in 1995.

Answer: James best la hahaha Answer: woooo Answer: wtf! haha Answer: in the same vein but baseball. Manager: Roger Craig (Giants) Cut his hand on a bra strap ... though we're guessing that's pain he played through. Catcher: Mickey Tettleton (Tigers) Once missed action with athlete's foot ... caused by tying his shoes too tight. First Base: Ryan Klesko (Braves) Once overexerted himself and pulled a muscle ... while picking up his lunch tray. Second Base: Bret Barberie (Marlins) Missed a game after rubbing chili juice in his eye ... probably after getting stuck behind John Kruk in morning stretches. Shortstop: Rey Quinones (Seattle) Once was unavailable for pinch hitting duty, because he had already returned to the clubhouse ... to play Nintendo. Third Base: Wade Boggs (Red Sox) Injured himself while pulling on his cowboy boots. Outfield: Kevin Mitchell (Mets/Giants) The master of all bizarre injuries, he once injured himself while eating a cupcake. That, of course, was when he wasn't missing games because of vomiting -induced muscle strains, or strained eyelids. Outfield: Ken Griffey, Jr. (Mariners) Missed a game after suffering a pinched testicle from his protective cup ... which explains why the whole "pain in the butt" thing just isn't phasing Jr. Outfield: Oddibe McDowell (Rangers) Yet another sad story of a baseball toughman getting taken out by food, he sliced his hand at the Texas welcome home luncheon while attempting to butter his roll. Designated Hitter: Glenallen Hill (Blue Jays) Went on the DL because of cuts suffered after smashing a glass table while dreaming he was being attacked by spiders ... anyway, that's his story, and he's sticking to it. Bench: Terry Harper (Braves) Separated his shoulder while waving a teammate home and subsequently high-fiving him. Bench: Rickey Henderson (Blue Jays) Missed a game because of frostbite ... in August. Bench: Mark Smith (Orioles) Injured his hand after sticking it in an air conditioner to "find out why it wasn't working." Bench: Jose Cardenal (Cubs) Missed a game in 1974 because he couldn't blink. Bench: George Brett (Royals) Broke his toe on a chair at his home while running from the kitchen to the TV to watch Bill Buckner hit. Bench: Vince Coleman (Cardinals) Missed the 1985 World Series after getting rolled up in the tarp machine. Starting pitcher: John Smoltz (Braves) Once burned his chest while ironing a shirt ... which he was still wearing. Starting pitcher: Tom Glavine (Braves) Redefining the phrase "star hurler," he broke a rib in 1992 after vomiting up airplane food. Starting pitcher: Nolan Ryan (Astros) Missed a start after being bitten on his hand ... by a coyote. Starting pitcher: Carlos Perez (Expos) Broke his nose in a car accident ... while trying to pass the team bus. Starting pitcher: Doc Gooden (Mets) Missed a start when Vince Coleman accidentally struck him with a golf club in the clubhouse. Middle reliever: Steve Sparks (Brewers) Dislocated his shoulder attempting to tear a phone book in half. Middle reliever: Charlie Hough (Rangers) Once broke his pinky ... shaking hands -- pinky shaking, that is. Middle reliever: Ricky Bones (Marlins) Went on the disabled list in 2000 after injuring himself while changing channels on the clubhouse TV. Middle reliever: Greg Harris (Rangers) Injured his wrist while flicking sunflower seeds in the dugout Closer: Jason Isringhausen (Athletics) Broke his hand while punching a trash can just weeks after stabbing himself in the leg trying to open a package.
