Whats the worst sporting injury you've had

[An Fear Rua]

Smashed cheekbone- Surgery

Knee ops X 2

the usual broken fingers, wrists etc
a number of stitches, some on the pitch, some as a result of what happened on the pitch.

If im honest, i reckon I got off lightly given the "style of play " I have.

Loved every minute of it

[An Fear Rua]

A pat on the balls.

I hope you stood , like a man

Staved fingers.
My football career was a very short affair.

LOL nice one!

Ive broken each arm, always had trouble with my lower back and have broken a leg too, but staved fingers are annoying as hell, becasue its such a small thing but it makes a huge differnce. At least if you hobble about on crutches, your a bit of a hero lol! If someone asks you, why arent you playing tonight, and yo usay, staved fingers, they'd laugh at ya!

Suffered from torn hamstrings or groins every year for the last four years. Hopefully this is the year I'll get a straight run at it...

Same here, have been doing exercises every morning for the last 6 months to build it up. Hopefully it stands to me later on in the summer ...

A broken wrist and am currently sitting on 8 dislocations for my shoulders. 4 on each one.
Should have had the op on it by now but refused it as I had just went two years without any bother. Then low and behold it went again last year!!

We were playing in a Senior championship match and scored a goal. As I leapt in celebration, I whacked my head off the roof of the dugout.

At least you're a half decent linguist.

I found that hilarious.

Dislocated shoulder [off the ball incident, drove self to hospital-great fun], torn hamstring [liberal application of Deep Heat by club "physio" - wrong, wrong, wrong....no "rest, ice, compression, elevation" at our club], finger smashed by shinty stick - got it stitched up & found out it had been broken when I went to get stitches out........ah, joyous memories of a remarkable career.

Also - Liver damage from drinking after matches, frequently hungover before & during a match as well.

Broken ankle which was complicated when a small bone growth started digging into my achilles when I was able to try and run again. Took another 3 months of physio from that big hoor Paul McCormick ( i think that's his name) who used to physio for Armagh fitballers and also had a column in the Irish news
Gilmores groin which wrecked me big time and took over 6 months to get semi-fit again
Broken Nose caused by a team mates elbow
broken scaphoid bone in my right wrist
Dozens and I mean dozens of hamstring problems all through my twenties and the strangest thing is that I'm as slow as a cart horse
numerous cuts to the head, face and hands but that's normal and to be expected when you hurl with no helmet on.

The strangest one was a loosening of the nose cartilage from the bone below my upper lip which I got in the middle of a melee, feckin sorest thing ever and you can't blow your hooter for weeks. probably deserved it though.
