Worst Soccer Injuries??

Kimbot

Lads,

Don't know if this is the most appropriate place to put this or not but mods feel free to move.

I was playing soccer last night (in goal) and during a corner up the other end of the pitch I heard a massive crunch followed by one of the opposing teams players screaming in agony. I ran up straight away and he dislocated his knee pretty badly. It then got me wondering about Soccer injuries that I have seen etc. Now I want to know what is the worst soccer injury you guys have ever seen and not with professional players/teams etc just you average local teams. Maybe there is even a couple of bad ones that the lads on the boards team may have seen??

I broke my leg playing against Joes...that was probably the worst that happened to me.

Eh I seen some guys knee completely twisted.

I saw an ankle snapped so that the foot was hanging like a loose sock. Not mine thankfully.

Ouch, I'd say breaking your leg hurt like hell??

Thank god I've never had a real bad injury, typical cuts and bruises and the odd knock here and there.

I also remember one person I saw playing ball went in with a sliding tackle and didn't know there was a bit of glass on the pitch!! There was blood everywhere.

Ouch that glass sounds horrible.


The thing with the leg was that the pan slowly built up, when it happened I thought I could play on, needless to say I did not. I thought it would take years to heal, luckily I was grand within 8 weeks.

Peyton Manning

First time I ever went to one of my neighbour's teams matches (he's about 5 years older than me) he broke his leg, quite badly. It was bent out of shape and everything. He was just screaming, sick as hell. He has since kindly asked me to refrain from attending his matches due to the luck I brought him.

My mum always said 'break a leg' before my matches, I never thought her prophecy would materialise.

i actually broke a guys leg in a challenge when i was 15 it was the worst thing i have ever seen it was like a big bubble were it was broke it was terrible and to make thing worse it was the last minute of a meaningless friendly

Seems to be a common bad one but ive seen a dislocated kneecap too. Was not a nice sight. Took the guy nearly 2 years to even walk properly again.

Have also seen a goalkeeper landing on one knee, it buckled and he just caved. Had done all his ligaments in the knee and chipped some bones.

And im currently out long term with some bad knee ligs myself from a roy keane-esque tackle

Had my collarbone broken. Apparently looked fairly bad and was accompanied by a loud crack.

Saw my brother tear his cruciate as well. Was really weird looking, he was just running tracking a man, then turned suddenly, but his boot stayed stuck in the ground as he turned and the next thing he was on the ground screaming in pain!

Chardee MacDennis

was playing afl last year and one of our cbs broke a guys leg in the first half with a 50/50 challenge and then dislocated a guys knee in the second half by diving for a header and getting yourmans knee. it was completely out of place. there was a delay of 20 mins in the first half for an ambulance and then when the second happened the match was abandoned!!

wasnt even a nasty game but that was his second and third broken leg of the season.

see a shin bone break protruding from skin before horrible horrible thing to see, the guy just went white and into shock, blood came out weird from it.

Also seen chris hughton shatter his nephews shoulder, his arm was like a floppy dolls, like when you put your arms inside your jumper and flap your sleeves, except for the guy screaming in pain as he tried to catch his arm.

i broke my ankle a few years back went in for a 50/50 tackle,wasnt a crunching tackle or anything and it just snapped whatever way i caught it.it was just hanging on completly twisted .3 breaks and ruined some tentons.needed 2 pins and a plate in it , they r there for life and it still swells up sometimes, 5yrs later.
saw a mate of mine snap his shin bone it was horrible he was on crutches for a year

Vokes

In an u15s cup match, I did a pretty horrific sliding tackle on the opposition winger and badly injured my knee (yup, Gazza-style) - the knee just ballooned in size over the next few hours. I was on crutches for a month and not playing football for another 3.

Actually the worst part of it (other then the freaking pain!) was that the opposition scored the winning goal from the resulting free kick

That would have to be the thing I definitely feared most when playing schoolboy football - broken glass, ughhhh

I've seen a lad do the whole dislocated knee thing at training. Looked absolutely horrible. One or two of the boys got sick from seeing it.

While I haven't had any bad ones myself I did inflict one. Was playing for UCD amateurs in a friendly against DCU freshers and the ball broke loose in midfield. I'd be quite strong in the tackle so went for a 50-50. The other lad wasn't. I went through the ball just as he made contact with the other side and his knee just went. It was horrible. Not a bad tackle or anything, just he didn't put his whole weight into behind it. Heard the next week it was a cruciate.
