Just reading paul wood ruptured testicle and played on on sat nite !!!!! since had it removed. whats the worst 1 you lot have witnessed ?

When i was playing Rugby a player next to me broke his leg.It sounded like a branch on a tree being broken.
All they did was change pitches and call an ambulance.

broke my ankle after 5 mins into a game and carried on for the full game (prop forward at the time).

came very close to a paul wood my self, was stood on in that area by a prop weighing around 19stone swollen and tender for 2 weeks had to have them ultra scanned by a very good looking nurse

.

Carried on playing after rupturing ligaments in my Clavicle joint. Doctor said would have been better if i broke my collar bone as recovery time after was 6 months longer than breaking collar bone and just as painful.

Not a rugby injury but a sporting injury nontheless.....

In the middle of a particularly competitive game of Subbeteo, I managed to crack the end of the fingernail on my flicking finger when attempting a particularly tricky set piece. Quick as a flash though, I just chewed of the bit of nail at the top, and got straight back in the game. Didn't even tell my mum.

Crushed testicles, pah!

Dislocated my thumb and broke forefinger on same hand trying to grab a loose ball that a Heworth player tried to kick at same time, the pain was intense and the thumb never quite right again

I'm guessing you also got a bang on the head at some point too?



I've broken three fingers playing. The worst one being the little finger on my left hand, dislocated at a joint, then broken just above it. It ended up overlapping my middle finger. Still has a 'kink' in it and the joints don't work. No major injuries for me so far (touch wood).

My lad broke his finger in 2 places playing in a semi-final, got it strapped up & carried on then got his nose broke and carried on and they won the game, sadly he missed the final as his finger was operated on a few days later.

Saw an 18 yr old playing a couple of weeks ago and he twisted and dislocated his knee cap, it was not a pretty sight and the poor lad was in agony, he did well though, and when he got to hospital they put it back in...ouch!

Both my little fingers were broke playing netball..and chipped my ankle in hockey, many moons ago.

I once broke a nail...

I smashed my Knee playing rugby Union under 12's, since converting to league iv dislocated my other knee X2 3 broken fingers, lost 4 teeth and broke my Jaw still loved playing though,

Not rugby but playing football tore my ACL and carried on with the game. Wasn't until about an hour after when I could not move my leg and not see my kneecap. Never the same again even after 10 years.
I would happily tear it again than rupture a ball.

My lad has broken his arm (swan neck break) and his collar bone twice ,he is only 15 but has already hung up his boots. As an aside my daughter broke 2 fingers thumping him on the head.

SO that avatar is actually a real picture of YOU!!!


had my jaw broken by a pool cue in a ships crew bar brawl with Russian navy lads in Hong Kong, (some sleezy joint in Portland Street with a stripper on the table while you play) so i feel for you there mate , luckily I was asleep immediately from it so didnt suffer the same pain you did i bet!! at least i got a flight back to Brem out of it LOL

no matter how you think of that it just makes you wince doesnt it



, poor bugger , respect to him

All jokin aside Wood gets my vote for next years true man of steel

not me, or rugby, but my mate came off his bike a couple of years ago when we were 15 and broke his back in 4 places, as well as needing stitches all over his face and a fractured arm. He went over his handlebars in Hessle country park dirt jump track on a small jump (he still swears it was 4 foot high with a 10 foot drop in). He still managed to get up and walk across a field to a hotel car park where the ambulance was.

This was the first week of the summer holidays so he spent his whole summer in bed and had to cancel a family holiday. When he'd recovered he got told he'd never pass his boxing medical again due to him having had major surgery so he decided to take up mixed martial arts, still has back trouble but soldiers on and is fit as a fiddle.

his dad's ex 'special forces'

so I guess it's in his blood

Not long after I joined the army I saw a lad being beasted at the guard room, being forced to run up and down the corridor at speed. Unfortunately for him there was an open safe door in an adjoining office at the end of the corridor with the handle sticking in a forward position to the corridor.. The lad slipped and somehow the handle of the safe imbedded itself through his shin..It wasn't just the crunching of the bone that made me wince but the screams of pain
Even though the kid was a he didn't deserve that.

Snapped my cruciate ligaments at a tournament in Sheffield, came off bit of freeze spray and strapped the leg up and went back on (obv didnt know the extent of the damage)

Managed to play most of the rest of the tourney and drive back to Hull

then had to crawl from the car to my door as leg was locked at 45 degrees

I once got into a sword fight with a bloke who was trying to get past (called himself a knight). Chopped off both my legs, then my arms, but I could've still had him if I wanted. Called it a draw in the end....

Dislocated my thumb in the first tackle of a game - wiggled it a bit and it went back in, played the full game (at Dockers)

Ruptured ACL at Ideal - carried on as we were out of subs

Playing for the Navy at HMS Collingwood - dislocated my kneecap went right round the back of my knee, carted off to Hospital - when they put it back in got a taxi back and went out on the lash with the Army/Navy lads - doc went loopy when I turned up at sickbay at midnight still in my kit, on crutches and three sheets to the wind!

I once got my head dislocated in a high tackle. They had to break my neck to get it back on. In the same match my leg came off when I was kicking my 13th conversion (all from tries I scored). This was the most important match ever against the best team ever so I had to stick it back on with UHU stick so I could collect the Lance todd and Harry Sunderland trophies.

Broke my arm playing in a semi final making a tackle in the first 5 minutes. At the time I thought I had just caught it badly in the tackle and carried on till the 70th minute when we had lost the game. Still didn't think much of it till the next day when the pain got worse and worse, ended up having it pinned and plated and was never right after that.

Ive never had to come off injured in 6 years! But i have been close to knocked out 3 times recently...

and i can't say I've seen a serious injury of much magnitude other than knocked out players and black eyes from fighting..

Knowing me I've just put the mockers on myself and ill go off injured on saturday...

Think i were playing under 14's.. My mate who had good movement with the feet side stepped this kid and as he ran one way, the kid tackled the other bud had a hand on mates nut's and ripped them.

Blood was gushing down me mates leg and was rushed to hospital. Nothing lost but had sore nuts for a while.
