I suspect a few here have caused themselves an injury or 2 over the years at Saints games, celebrating goals or whatever.

 

I only ask as Saturday whilst celebrating Hammond's equaliser i managed to get my ankle trapped in between a concrete step on the isle & the first seat in which resulted in 4 hours being spent at the general yesterday morning. Luckily no brake or sprain, just a very fat & badly bruised ankle. ******* hurt!

 

Anybody else with a good one to tell of?

i remember being in the Archers road end before a match .the away team keepers were warming up and one of them (Smeichel, i think), smacked the ball past the goal and it hit a young lad (10-12ish) right in the face,sending his coffee flying all over him and smashing his glasses.Smeichel couldn't apologise enough,and the stewards took him off for some first aid.i'll never forget the look on his poor little face, but he held his composure really well for a young'un, but feck me i bet that bloody hurt!! :rolleyes:

When BWP scored his second away at Reading I went flying over the seats in front of me, flat onto my back behind the people in front of me who were obviously stood up. Not sure if they even noticed! Had badly bruised knees, hip and elbows for about a week!

Millwall, FA Cup run in 2003, St Mary's...

 

goal goes in my mate turns around to celebrate with me and catches me with a right hook, right on the nose.....claret everywhere.

 

I had to make my way down to the toilets with my nose spread across my face and blood all down my top.

 

those pussy millwall fans must have thought the saints fans were right nutters...to be fighting with each other as a result of a goal going in.

 

My 2 front teeth hurt for days afterwards.

As I may have mentioned before , thanks to a drink or two before the game found myself in the loo at the dell mid 1st half when the cheer went up for a goal. Still don't know to this day why I thought I should go running out to see what had happened, not as though I was going to get a replay was it. However the pain from that rather hasty zip up still makes me shudder everytime I hear a zip go.

 

Can't even remember who we were playing against

Re the Schmeichel story above, I saw Jim Steele do something like that at Brisbane Rd. However it was during the game and it looked like he was trying to smack the ball against the touchline wall and collect the rebound to take a throw-in. Unfortunately it cleared the wall and almost took the head off one of their fans in the first row. I'm being biased but it looked like a genuine mis-kick - needless to say Jimmy was booed relentlessly by the Orient crowd for the rest of the game which of course he thoroughly he enjoyed !

My shins get a bashing nearly every week, which makes them bruised. When we scored against Millwall I accidentally put my hand in my steak and kidney pie mid-celebration and that hurt cos it was bloody hot. All the usual really, I got pulled over the seat behind me which hurt my back... I think once I accidentally punched my mate in the face whilst celebrating, but it wasn't you Marsdinho! All really bloody stupid things thinking of it...

I'd be surprised if anyone can match this clearly horrific injury.

 

I sit in the Kingsland and I spilt a little of my cocoa once after a particularly noisy bout of clapping from the Northam startled us so much we all woke up. The cocoa dripped off my muffler, onto the blanket over my knees and slightly scalded my toe.

Year ago, at the Archers end (standing) when we played Man U we scored first and I jumped in the air and landed on the foot of my friend who was a PE teacher. The foot was broken and he was out of work a month and never came with me again (we lost 4-1 it was the match Best got a hattrick)

That happened to my son at the Northampton game, he was badly scalded on his hand ! Had we been in America or had we lost or did we not feel so grateful to Markus Liebherr we would have sued the barstewards for a million quid at least !

In the end we went to the pub after the game, he dipped his hand in a pint of lager and the injury improved quite quickly !
