Left to right Top row first.

 

1. Top and middle left - On February 23rd 2008, during a match with Birmingham City whilst playing for Arsenal, Eduardo suffered a broken left fibula and dislocated his left ankle. This was the result of an appalling mistimed tackle by Birmingham City defender Martin Taylor , who was immediately and quite rightly dismissed. Eduardo made a full recovery and in January 2009, he made a return to the Arsenal first team, scoring 2 goals in an FA cup replay against Car.

 

2. The Coventry defender David Busst suffered a compound fracture of the tibia and fibula in this collision with Manchester United defender Denis Irwin during a match at Old Trafford in April 1996. The leg break was so bad that the bone pierced the skin and Busst's blood had to be cleared from the pitch. He never played professionally again. United goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel , who witnessed the injury, required counseling afterwards.

 

3. Kieron Dyer, one of the most injury jinxed of modern soccer players, suffered a broken right leg at Bristol Rovers on August 29th, 2007.

 

4. Henri Larsson's broken leg in 1999 threatened to end his career. His miraculous 7 months recovery saw him heal in time to score crucial goals in Sweden 's qualifying campaign for the 2000 Eurocup. Since then, he had been a permanent fixture on the Swedish side until his retirement following the 2002 FIFA World Cup.

 

5. Bottom left - The German midfielder Ewald Lienen suffered an injury in 1981, which proves that it's not just broken bones that can be horrific. A sliding tackle from a Werder Bremen defender slices open Lienen's thigh, to reveal the tissue and bone of the player's leg.

 

6. Olesen suffered a severe dislocation of the left ankle in an October 2006 match, and was out for 6 months

 

7. On February 19th, 2006, while playing in the Italian Championship against Empoli F.C. , he suffered a leg injury fracturing his left fibula and severing the interconnecting ligaments with the malleolus. He was operated the same night by Prof. Mariani , a renowned Italian orthopedic surgeon.

 

8. On Saturday, November 8th, 2008, Díaz de Cerio suffered a serious injury after a collision with SD Eibar goalkeeper Zigor, fracturing the tibia and the fibula of his right leg. After a successful surgery, the club medical's staff nonetheless stated that the recovery would be "...very slow...". He returned to action almost a year after his injury, playing 30 minutes in a 1?1 draw at C.D. Nacional, for the UEFA Europe League (November 5, 2009).

 

9. Cisse fractured his right leg after being tackled by the Shandong Luneng defender during a friendly international soccer match in Saint Etienne , France in 2006. The accident happened during the 10th minute of the match, in which France got a 3-1 victory over China .

I still remember seeing the Busst photo for the first time in a newspaper... it blew my mind, didn't know something like that was possible.

[Andrew 4650]

I know I shouldnt but i found the olesen one slightly comical

One of my relatives witnessed it first hand- Schmeichel was heaving in the back of the goal, whilst the ground staff poured water on the pitch to try and wash away the blood patch.

Unfortunately accurate surname too.

Blatantly written by an Arsenal fan. Cunt.

Looking at those photos actually gives me strange 'electrical pains' shooting down my body. Anybody else experience this?

Yeh it's weird isn't it?

 

It must be your body's way of telling you not to break your leg!

that is truly horrific. Peter Schmeichel was physically sick when he saw it.

[Gejon 2]

My mates done one of these today apparently

suffered or inflicted?

[Gejon 2]

Suffered. I expect he will be off work for quite a while which means more work for me [/selfish]

 

Sounded fucking nasty though, made me feel a bit sick just hearing about it so can't imagine how he felt

[tinofbeans 91]

ghastly, reminded me of a team mate (we nickname him the mummy because for some reason he bandages his knees) hurt his knee...

 

by hurt I mean he turned and jumped and landed and dislocated his knee. as in it was on the side of his leg. fuck that was awful... those broken legs look absolutely awful as well tbh....
