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 also once fell through 5 lifts of scaffolding(about 25 ft), but that was work, not sport...and strangely i was uninjured, apart from a trowel jabbing my top lip..
