Worst Injury You've Seen?

Xavi6

Ok so was just reading some of the questions in the Sports Trivia forum and the answer to one was 'David Busst'. I suddenly started to feel a little sick inside as memories of his leg wrapped around Peter Schmeichel came flooding back. For me that has to be the worst I've seen.

Other notable mentions go to:
Henrik Larsson for Celtic against Lyon
Luc Nilis for Aston Villa against Ipswich
Jimmy Bullard for Fulham against Newcastle

So what gives you nightmares?

two words

David Bust

has to be a clear winner

Guy:Incognito

I remember McAteer breaking his leg at Blackburn (and Ciise and Carra, what a place or broke legs). I was watching MOTD and you could hear the snap. Not pleasent.

Tusky

Both of Cisse's leg breaks were pretty gruesome.

wowy

I didn't know about David Busst until I looked it up.


Holy sh!t fukc that was not a pretty sight.

Daysha

David Busst

No contest

Not a soccer injury, but Joe Theisman's leg break when playing for the Washington Redskins still disturbs me

Again, not soccer, but Xavi, you'll probably know this one. Nathan Brown in the AFL.

Wait until the end of the video to see the full gruesome horror of this one :eek:

Dave Busst no contest.

Bust, the sheer look of horror on schmeichels face told it all, apparently he lost an inch or 2 on the lengh of his leg, the break was so bad. I remember a pic ages ago of brolin busting his ankle, it was at a sick angle, he was never the ame after it, ask leeds and crystal palace.

Busst solely because the doctors nearly had to amputate his leg.


And to think that it was Denis Irwin that made that tackle.

I always thought Dinny had a nasty streak alright.

Man that Aussie rules one is nasty. There isn't too many career threatening injuries that are pleasant to watch i guess!

Regarding the McAteer leg break i remember watching MOTD myself and seeing him siting there in shock just shake his head and say "Its broken, its gone!" or something like that, the crowd were so quiet from shock also.

The Luke Nilis one was a shocker too, did he ever comeback from that?

Busst's leg break was particularly gruesome when you see the groundsman bringing a bucket out onto the field to wash away the blood :eek::eek:
you have to wonder if the game should maybe have been abandoned after such a horrific injury?

Holy crap, a severed artery :eek::eek:

Fuuuuuuck. He could have DIED.

I was just reading about that guy.

People call John Terry a hard bastard, he hasn't a patch on this guy tbh.

Amazingly, after receiving more than 300 stitches to close the wound, Malarchuk returned to practice four days later, having spent only one night in the hospital. And about a week after that, he was back in goal against the Quebec Nordiques. "Doctors told me to take the rest of the year off, but there was no way", Malarchuk said. "The longer you wait, the harder it's going to be. I play for keeps."

Fair fúcks to the guy.

I'm amazed.

Henrik Larsson's will always stick out for me.

Also Michael Mols, as although it didnt look all that bad at the time, you just knew it was going to ruin his career.

Every bloke who's read this has just done crossed his legs very, very quickly.

What the fúck.

That is the worst one yet imo.

luke nilis's was the worst ive seen in football

worst ive seen in real life was a guy get a cricket ball full force off the bat into his balls from 3 yards away

the screams were blood curdling

Vokes

I seem to recall a pretty horrific injury at Euro 92.

Involved a Danish player I think, and his knee or shin bone get messed up badly. Might have been lots of blood too?

Anyone recall this?

Spud83

Not really an injury but it always makes me wince.

Knew someone was going to mention Phil Babb!

Michael Owen had a nasty looking injury when his leg landed awkwardly and you could just see the muscle tear on the replays!

Found it, sort've.

It was Hendrik Andersen. Had his thigh bone protruding out of his leg or something. Uggghh

http://www.iht.com/articles/1992/06/24/rob__6.php

In human terms, Euro 92 probably reached as high and as low as it is going to get during Monday night's victory for Danish spirit over Dutch flair.

The match had, as the Netherlands' manager, Rinus Michels, put it, all the quality and suspense of a Hitchcock drama. Indeed, even that past master of the macabre might have squirmed at the nauseous TV close-ups of Hendrik Andersen's left thigh with its broken bone protruding through the skin of the Danish player.

Friend of mine was playing in goal at u-12 or 13's in Limerick. Ball played over the defence, he came running off his line to collect it and slid on the ground to beat the striker to it, there was glass around the penalty spot where he had slid, sliced his shin wide open from the ankle to the knee. Was feckin awful to see at that age.

Playing rounders in Primary School and some poor bastard was behind the batter. Took a wallop of the tennis racket as the dude took off on a guaranteed homer.

Gash above his eye as wide as a two bit whores fanny, and twice as deep.

Blood everywhere.

He had a lovely shiner for a good month afterwards.

i didnt realise this was gonna descend into a lethal weapon style bragging match about horrific injuries iv had a few in my time, looking back on it the funniest was age 9 or 10 i was kicking football in my own back yard, being from the country one side of my "pitch" was bordering with my dads farm.
Anyways long story short i was doing some sort of keepy-uppeys hitting the ball higher and higher,not watching where i was going and ran full tilt into the fence, ending up hanging meself by the football jersey out of 2strands of BARB WIRE. shredding my older brothers new liverpool kit (that i shouldnt have been wearing!) and giving myself 5 quality deep cuts on the shoulder.

My dad came out when he heard me bawling like a little girl and un-tangled me! My brother gave me a good kicking when he seen his kit, and im left with coupla quality scars that look the business!! :D

I watched the match that Busst got injured in and I have watched it countless times after and I still cant actually see what happened

SantryRed

David Healy's leg break while he was playing for Coventry was pretty bad.
His leg was nearly at a 90 degree angle to the ground:eek:


How can you forget Alan Smith's injury against Liverpool as well.
That was nasty.

Mushy

Jesus, some awful images here. I wont help now!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g7aGCMF7Zjg&NR=1

EDIT: Apart from Buusts one, I think Smiths against Liverpool was gruesome to say the least. Was at then gf's house and I just ran away.

Peyton Manning

This one for me, just for how easy and hamrlessly it happens, and the sheer horror and pain on his face afterwards

That's how Riise protects his house from intruders.

Limb breaking free kicks!

Necronomicon

I was at that Coventry game when Dave Busst got that horrible injury. Couldn't see how bad it was, but they were throwing buckets of water over the 6-yard box, there must have been blood. I'll never forget how Peter Schmeichal had to leave and run up to the dug-out, it looked as if he was going to be sick.

As another poster said, if you see footage it's actually hard to see how it happens, but if you do an image search you can see it properly. That one wins hands down for me.

Squirrel

Again not Soccer but horrifying I think. I've has the Stress Fracture on my shin which caused this but I stopped when it got sore, and seemingly with very good reason.

OK, Horror story...

I was playing U-14 rugby for my school against Templeogue. After a ruck i was in i heard this scream, a horrific scream, everyone stopped... A kid had his sack ripped open. By someone's studs.

No joke. White shorts... Covered in blood. But we played on after he got in the ambulence. I dunno why.

As for this thread, Henrik Larsson. Sick.

MrJoeSoap

I think we can add Eduardo to this list. Horrible, horrible, horrible.

Keano

So bad they wont show the replay...

Probably worse. They won't show it again though.

Unearthly

I wasn't even paying attention when it happened, still a bit hungover. Then I saw the red card and sighed, then I saw Fabregas's reaction and knew it was very serious then.

Terrible to see

Tusky

I read that Eduardo had a horrible injury this afternoon and they wont show a reply ?! Thats the first Ive heard of them doing that, is it a new tactic ?

Thats hockey for you. Where else can someone be punished for a "foul" and at the same time his opponent can be punished for diving. They take no sh*t.

Not meaning to make little of it, but at the end of the day it was a cut, a very serious one but a cut none the less. Most likely a clean one. Clean cuts heal very fast.

mikemac

Fair point Stekelly, of course it's easier to recover from this than a leg break which is common in football. But it definitly takes serious mental toughness to get back on the rink after that.

Yeah, tbh I'd say the worst part was looking down at his own blood spreading on the ice (you'd be surprised how small an amount of blood can look like a huge pool) and thinking to himself he could actually die.
