Football.
Innocuous as well. So innocuous I tried to walk around at first. Collapsing on the floor was the first hint something was afoot

I cut my head open on a kitchen unit when i was about 7 or 8. My dad took me to A&E and they put that glue stuff onto it. Took a few hours to sort out from my dim childhood memories.
LFC_SL - a mate at school broke his leg playing football, went up for a header, next minute a crack was heard and he was on the floor.

ive been a few time's, came of a scooter and ripped my lip in half on the handle bars, once for a major mountain bike crash, popped my shoulder out! once for a big deep cut in the palm of my hand from a big bit of glass and the final time blood poisoning (i'll never go back after this one) - too many smarties at a disco. needless to say, i learnt my lesson that time

Yep. Most recently was for ruptured ligaments, a stretched achilles tendon and allegedly some goosed fibres in my ankle around a month ago. Messy.
Painful. And football was the culprit again!

Probably that football is best left to over played professionals 
I was rubbish at football
The arches in my feet have caved in, so no Kevin making a fool out of himself trying to play football like a duck that's lost it's quack.

3 dislocated knees - 3rd time the ligaments snapped and my knee cap went way round the back somewhere!!!
Broken wrist falling backwards through the laft hatch!
Scariest was going their for a bad backache, only to be rushed to ward with Pnuemonia, and 10 days later being let out, with a warning about being hours away from death by suffocation.

Broken nose, lacerations requiring stitches and a "large facial haematoma" after being dashed on to rocks by a freak wave whilst "rock hopping" in a kayak around the coast near Ilfracombe. I looked like a panda for weeks...
More head stitches after locating a rock with my head whilst attempting an inverted kayak descent of Triple Drop on the River Dart when it was in spate.
I have an affinity for rocks.
