Post subject:  Sporting injuries
Who here has had any serious sporting injuries? And what were they, how did it affect your life? Did you play again? etc etc

I got a bad injury whilst playing for my university football team (Chetenham & Gloucester College of HE). Some player from West Brom uni decided that my ankle looked like the ball. I played on for a bit, but then the swelling started. I was substituted and soon after my boot popped off due to the swelling. This happened in 1996 and I haven't played 90 minutes of football ever since. In fact, as far as outdoor football is concerned, I've only played 10 minutes since.

I've tried playing 5-a-side, and did for a while, until I fell off my bike and did my knee in.

I stick to snooker now, much safer.

I broke my big toe half way through a TaeKwon Do grading, while breaking a 2 inch board with a round kick. I had to finish the grading with it, and despite the agony I still managed to hide it well enough to pass.

My toe hasn't been the same since, but it was almost worth it.

"Promise to sit still" .... that means you can't even have a right/left arm pump action at the pub when drinking beer... I hope they provide straws then :whistling:
