Unfortunately, in the game today, whether intentional or not, players are on the receiving end of bad tackles and wayward physical contact. I'd like to believe that there are minimal malicious intent in at least the greater amount of games thats being played today. Instead of focussing on the perpetrators, I think its good if we could reflect on the injuries sustained by some of these great players and also feel for them in their trying times.

Sounds like i'm mourning right? The reason I thought I could start this thread was because I watched the Bilbao Vs Getafe replay abit ago, and Yeste (Bilbao) had a head on collission with Getafe's keeper, and the beauty was he immediately got up, but it was evident that something had gone wrong, and the panic could be seen in the eyes of ALL the players on the field.

I not only feel for them, but also am inspired by their courageous comebacks, and it doesnt matter which flag and banner ur from, get in touch with that human side of yours and provide your insight on some of the worst tackles you've seen and how you felt for the INJURED at that point of time.

Kindly RESTRAIN from bashing the tackler or perpetrator or leg-cruncher as this thread is for you to feel for the ones on the crutches/bandages.
Ex. "Taylor is a friggin murderer" <-- None of this please!!

The worst injuries i've seen (In no specific order)

1) Larsson Vs Lyon
2) Cant remember the guys name, but if im not mistaken, he was on the receiving end of Michael Balls elbow (i think)
3) Yeste Vs Getafe
4) Eduardo Vs Birmingham

Unfortunately I cudnt locate the video on Yeste's injuries, but please feel free to give your input!

- Pedro Mendes got "body contact" by ex-ManCity's player. Can't remember his name.
- Sagna's clearance, unbalance. recently against Chelsea. But that one is he fall himself.
- Terry got kick in the face. By Diaby. That's a near death experience for him if Arsenal Physio Gary Lewin wasn't there.

Alan Smith out to dodge John Arne Riise's freekick

If on recent event, the tackle made by martin taylor maybe?


Off topic:

lucas neil on cisse. (blackburn vs liverpool)

alan smith on himself (liverpool vs man u)

The incident where Stephen hunt knocked on Cech?Personally,I think that's very severe..

Schumacher vs Patrick Battiston. World Cup 1982.

That Italian guy who just joined Chelsea for few game...then injured cause him to retire from football..forget his name

Do you mean Di Matteo? He played 6 years for Chelsea. But the injury he suffered was really bad that forced him to retire at the age of 31 only.

not Di Matteo..striker.. perlugi something...

The Schumacher foul was one of the most horrendous knock i've seen in a long time. It could have killed Batiston, honestly.

Worst thing is, Schumacher was not reprimanded by the ref and he didn't make an effort to apologise to Batiston on the spot and even after the game. Apparently he says he didn't wanna apologise coz there was too many French players there and he didn't wanna make things worst by going near the player.

Ya ya. my bad. Remember that. He's Pierluigi Casiraghi, now Italian Under 21 manager together with another ex-Clesea Zola.

I think Essien foul is one of the worst.
He broke one defender leg, but I forgot the name of the player.

Against which team?
