Injuries following United.

Have we had this thread before? If so apologies.
A bit like the Fred version of the Jaws scene, on the boat where they talk about war wounds.

I'll start,broken arm. Stretty Left side,best scored a goal the usual crush happened.
My left arm went through the railings snap snap,two places. I think it was around 71/72? I'd be 15 or so.
The older lads lifted me out, a copper got me to the perimeter of the pitch. I walked around whilst the game was being played and they took me down the old players tunnel and into the St Johns room. Then whisked off to Manchester Royal Infirmary. My mum proceeded to ban me from going to football. That didn't last long.

Broken cheekbone in Callela the night before the final in 99. Fell off a bin head first pissed up. Couldn't feel the right side of my face or my teeth for 6months. £#%&!ing hurt.

ouch,gotta ask did you make the game?

Got shot 5 times.

derby away 1983 fa cup quarter final (1-0, whiteside)

it was one of the lads birthdays, so we thought it would be a good idea to give him "the bumps" into a pile of shite deposited by a police horse

I had hold of one of his legs, when he realised we were going to "bump" him into shit he struggled like £#%&!, lashed out accidentally (?) and booted me in the gob

bust lip

claret everywhere

told me dad I had done it taking on Derbys top boy

1996. Wounded by the price of a pint of piss-weak 'Manchester United' beer.

1999. Bit of a headrush as I leapt up to celebrate Ole's goal at the Nou Camp, then banged my shin on the coffee table as I ran around the living room shouting 'yeeeaaaaaaahhhhhhhh, £#%&!in' yeeeeeeeaaaaahhhhhh!!!!!'

2001. Programme seller gave me a dirty look. Hurt my feelings.

2005. Grievously offended by the price of a cheeseburger outside the ground.

Porto 96?

I've had numberous shin injuries but none worse than when some scouse @#%&! booted me in them outside wenbley in 96. I've still got the scar.

Best injury I inflicted was Stuttgart away in around 2002. Pissed and angry at the result (2-2 iirc after a run of about 100 draws) I launched a plastic cup half full of ale at the goading fans. It emptied has it flew and by the time it reached them it was gently floating to the ground. People were pointing and laughing and one daft @#%&! ran to try and catch it, tripped and smashed his head on the fence. Paramedics were still tending to him about half an hour later as we left the stadium.

Followed through at the city game where keane snapped haaland in half.

So did Haaland.

Hit in the back with a baton at marseille away. No biggie, just walked it off.

No injuries to myself, but i do always wonder what happened to the skiplicker that had a fresh brew lobbed in his mush after liverpool had scored at OT March 2000 and he went for it in East 2.

Got tear gassed in France v Lille (2007?) and then cut my shin open as I got bowled over my seat by the crush that followed.

Fell off a table and hurt my shoulder at chorley away with FC

I'm standing between Carlo and Crumps all night and no harm will befall me...

Carpel tunnel syndrome.
