[refugee]

I just saw this story

And was wondering who who is our most injury prone player? Getting plane crash level injuries from a Legends game must put him back into contention.

He's got some competition from Kirkland, Kewell and Keita.

I shouldn’t laugh but fractured ribs and a punctured lung from an old boys football match, you couldn’t make it up

racist!

That's incredible, had to check the date for April fools

 

[Woland]

I once saw him in HMV and thought about offering him a hand to navigate the stairs.

Redknapp & Jari too, but I think Thiago has won it hands down

Lol he's been away so much I totally forgot about him. Definitely the champ

 

[Fabio]

Fucking LOVE Fabio Aurelio

 

[jan]

Is this an all star team?

Kirkland
Degen Matip Agger Aurelio
Aquilani Keita Thiago
Litmanen Sturridge Kewell

I'm sure we've had RBs who were better than Degen but also perma-injured. But this is a good start.

Rob Jones right off the bat

I'd have Heggem

That's the one I was trying to remember! Looked a baller but was literally *never* fit.

Didn't even play the last two years at LFC and then retired.

 

[dee]

Heggem's a great shout. I'd be tempted to swap Keita for Redknapp.

Did Degen ever play a competitive match for us? I remember pre-season only? Got to beat Rob Jones (poor lad) based on that.

Jari, Aurelio and Jones were all great players who just couldn't stay fit to prove their class for us

Answering myself. He did actually play competitively

Degen made his Liverpool debut on 12 July 2008 as a half-time substitute in a friendly against Tranmere Rovers which they won 1–0. Degen made his competitive Liverpool debut in the third round of the Football League Cup in the 2–1 home win against Crewe Alexandra, during which he broke two of his ribs and punctured his lung in a collision with teammate Sami Hyypiä and was out for two months.

On 12 November 2008, he made his first-team comeback in the 4–2 League Cup defeat at Spurs, only to suffer a broken metatarsal. In January 2009, Degen suffered another metatarsal injury after scoring in a 2–2 draw with Manchester United reserves. He played in five further games before cancelling his contract

Sammi was a big boy

Rob Jones right off the bat

Yup - Rob Jones made his debut, was hailed as the best right back ever and retired due to injury all within a very short period of time. Shin splints wasn't it?

Probably need to mention Michael Stensgaard who got injured using an ironing board

Wasn’t that Balotelli? Mad to think he’s actually played for us; it’s like it was in another universe.

 

[ctlovesred]

What happened to Endo again?

 

[refugee]

Nope. Stensgaard. Dislocated his shoulder I think. And eventually had to retire as he couldn't get his shoulder right again. A few years later made a comeback

 

[jan]

Was it Aurelio fucking himself up while playing with his kid at his backyard?

And I'm sure we had a player who injured himself shaving or some stupid shit like that

Erecting ironing board to be precise. I sympathise, they can be bastards

Someone dropped aftershave on their foot, not sure it was one of our guys

That was the Spanish keeper, the blonde haired one, you know Valencia's former keeper.
Happened just before the Euros, 2008 I think.

Bingo, Santiago Canizares

I could imagine Darwin setting off fireworks in his own bathroom.
