Dr Kenneth Noisewater 0 Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 (edited) Sunderland fan sues club after being knocked out cold by Djibril Cisse shot Sunderland have revealed they are being sued by one of their own fans who was knocked unconscious by a wayward strike from Djibril Cisse whilst watching the Black Cats train. Club chairman Niall Quinn revealed on BBC Radio that legal proceedings were currently underway after being quizzed about whether fans should attend training sessions. The bizzare incident happened during the 2008-9 season when Cisse was playing at the club whilst on loan from Marseille. Explaining the situation Quinn said: 'We had a supporter who got a bad injury. I think it was one of Djibril Cisse's misses where he had a shot from 20 yards. 'I'm making fun of it now, but it knocked a supporter out. It was quite serious. That supporter is in the process of suing us right now.' Before his 38 appearances for Sunderland, Cisse is most remembered in the Premier League for his freak accident which saw him snap both his tibia and fibula playing for Liverpool against Blackburn in 2004. The brave Frenchman was tipped to retire after the injury but has since gone on to continue plying his trade in Europe. A genuinely colourful striker, Cisse is now in Greece playing for Panathinaikos and has scored a remarkable 42 times in 51 appearances.

Unbeliveable. Yeah, I had abit of a laugh because it's Sunderland but seriously this can't happen, when will it stop? If you're at a match and a ball hits you in the face, can you turn around and sue the club? Fair enough that women that got hit buy the firework at Wolves a few years ago should have, and probably did, sue the club but if you're going to watch people kick a football you've got understand there maybe a chance the ball hits you. Suppose the plus side is it'll stop those weird cunts hanging around the training grounds when the clubs ban them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
