Funniest FM Injury?

just reading the physio's report after a training session and one of my players is out for 4 weeks/ 1 Month due to lifting weights in training. i was like OMG why. Mad Times.

whats ever one elses funniest injury?

It's pretty easy to injure yourself when lifting weights

Could have pulled a muscle or something. The funiest injuries that I see are ones that they should play through. In previous FM/CM I seen bruised toes and colds and players have missed games. I mean a cold- man up! Maybe the man flu but not a cold!!!

this is a normal injury. Believe me. It can happen.

The funny part is, when you substitute a player and the one who come is get injuried 3 seconds after that. After the substitution he run to his position and in the middle of the field he felt on the ground. Injuried hahahaha!!!

My players get cold and get off matches I have a cold but I still go to work .

I remember getting one where Pascal Cygan had a brusied head...

Poor bloke

on fm 09 paul scholes bruised cheek out for 6 weeks

I partially tore a chest muscle lifting weights. What are you trying to say here?

My favorites are the ones that end up being a broken leg. Only it happens in the 60th minute, and you just say screw it and leave them in there. Then I get to think about how and why they were playing with a broken leg.

Stuart Pearce famously broke his leg playing for West Ham in about the 15th minute. He refused to come off and played until half-time.

At half-time the medical staff and manager told him he had to come off, but 'Psycho' wanted to go out and play the second half! THAT is a hard man!

So it is possible to continue playing with a broken leg, depending on which bone is broken in the leg.

In my Atletico game Cleber Santana headed the ball uncontested and broke his ribs.

That is pure awesome.

And I had another of these earlier. Raul Garcia, a midfielder for me, broke his foot just before halftime. He only got a green cross, and his stamina only dropped like 5 points, so I kept him on. 5-6 months

In my Atletico game Cleber Santana headed the ball uncontested and broke his ribs.

It's hearing things like that that makes me happy I sold him.

Players playing on with injuries: From Rugby - Buck Shelford loses a testicle has it stitched back up and plays on. - Norm Hewitt breaks his arm and plays on. Some stunners.

When I was 13 I collided with a goalie and fractured the growth plate in my knee (or close to my knee....I cant remember).....but yea it happened in the first half and as soon as it happened I got up and limped of the field. As hyper as I was back then I couldnt stay off the pitch for more than 5 mins.....and I ended up playing the rest of the match (limping back and forth). Anyways after limping around for a week er so my mom decided it was about time for me to see a doctor....I remember him calling me an idiot for playing as long as I did how I needed a cast on my leg for 6 weeks. It was sorta scary though....if i had really messed up the growth plate, my leg would have stopped growing....I would have had one leg shorter than the other

One of my best players is out for 6 months for a serious viral infection, not a funny injury but I hadn't seen it before and it seems a bit rare.

I think the legendary Manchester City goalkeeper Bert Trautman played with a broken neck! Performed heroics too iirc...

An old Man U 'keeper (i think it was Alec Stepney) dislocated his jaw whilst shouting at his defenders....

Santiago Canizares famously missed the 2002 world cup because he broke his foot after dropping a bottle of aftershave on it.

Rio Ferdinand once injured himself stretching to reach the remote.

I'm pretty sure I had one of my players once get a facial injury falling over a cone. :o

Off topic perhaps:

• Sunday December 5th 2004. Playing in the Swiss league, Servette midfielder Paulo Diogo scored against Schaffhausen, then jumped into the crowd to celebrate. On the way, he managed to catch his wedding ring on a fence and tore off the top half of his finger. He was booked for excessive celebration.
  
• Arsenal vs Chelsea, Saturday 6th May 200. After scoring Arsenal's (and his) second (and winning) goal, Thierry Henry went to celebrate in the corner of the pitch and required treatment after hitting himself in the face with the corner flag. ArseWeb reader Joel points out that Marco Tardelli (Italy) did a similar thing in the World Cup final in Spain, 1982.
  
• New Scientist of 5th August 1999 reported on research into a condition called SARA (sexually acquired reactive arthritis) in sportsmen, particularly footballers. It seems that footballers have so much sex that they're particularly susceptible to the condition, which in turn makes them more susceptible to eg knee injuries.
  
• Perry Groves was on the bench for an Arsenal match (before he'd played for us). We went one-nil up and he jumped up to celebrate only to hit his head on the roof of the dug-out! He knocked himself out and needed treatment from physio Gary Lewin.
  
• Sometime in the 70s, Norwegian International defender Svein Grondalen had to withdraw from an International after an accident which happened while he was out jogging. He collided with a moose.
  
• David Seaman once broke a bone reaching for his TV remote
  
• Another time, when already out with an injured knee, Seaman went carp fishing and put his shoulder out while reeling in a 26 pounder.
  
• Carlo Cudicini is also said to have damaged a knee reaching for a remote control. Could be that one or both (see David Seaman in the entry before last) is urban legend? Or that there's something about goalkeepers that makes them prone to this injury?
  
• In 1970 the career of Chic Brodie (Brentford keeper) was ended by injury following a mid-match collision with a dog that had invaded the pitch.
  
• In 1975 Man United keeper Alex Stepney screamed so hard at his team-mates that he broke his jaw.
  
• Brazilian star Ramalho was in bed for three days after swallowing a suppository intended to treat a dental infection
  
• Milan Rapaic once missed the start of Hajduk Split's season after sticking his boarding-pass in his eye at the airport.
  
• Not so funny perhaps, but where else are we going to tell you about it?..... Indonesian star Mistar, 25, was tragically killed by a herd of pigs that invaded his team's training pitch before a Cup fixture in 1995.
  
• in 1999 Portsmouth's Johnny "Lager" Durnin, playing a round of golf with Alan McLoughlin, crashed his buggy into a fairway hollow because he was admiring the view rather than watching the ground in front, and dislocated his elbow putting him out for 6 weeks.
  
• In 1993 keeper Dave Beasant was kept out by a foot injury caused by a falling jar of salad cream. Yes, he fumbled it, and because his hands were full he stuck out a foot to stop it hitting the floor!
  
• Barnsley's Darren Barnard slipped in a puddle of his new puppy's pee on the kitchen floor. The resulting knee ligament damage kept him out of action for five months.
  
• Wolves striker Robbie Keane ruptured his knee cartilage in 1998 after stretching to pick up his TV remote control (cf Seaman & Cudicini, above).
  
• Steve Morrow broke his collarbone after falling off Tony Adams while celebrating the 1993 League Cup final win.
  
• David Batty's return from an Achilles tendon injury was put back when he was run over by his toddler on a tricycle.
  
• Allan Nielsen of Spurs missed several matches after his daughter poked him in the eye
  
• Republic of Ireland star Alan McLoughlin, John Durnin's golf-partner (see above), ruptured his right thumb picking up daughter Megan.
  
• Alan Wright, Villa's little full-back, needed treatment for a knee strain caused by stretching to reach the accelerator in his new Ferrari. 'It gave me grief,' said Wright, who swapped the car for a Rover 416.
  
• Arsenal legend Charlie George never fully recovered from cutting off his big toe with a lawnmower.
  
• Lee Hodges of Barnet slipped on a bar of soap in the shower, wrenching his groin
  
• Alan Mullery missed England's 1964 tour of South America after putting his back out while brushing his teeth.
  
• Reserve Liverpool keeper Stensgaard once injured himself in an incident with an ironing board. We don't know if he was ironing at the time.
  
• Rio Ferdinand of Leeds damaged his knee in January 2001, while relaxing in front of the telly with his feet up on a coffee table. He had to go for scans on a tendon.
  
• Former Arsenal keeper Richard Wright, was warming up in the goalmouth in preparation for an FA Cup tie against Chelsea for his next club Everton, when he twisted his ankle. He did it landing on a wooden sign instructing people not to practise there.
  
• From Sheila Dodds in the US. This is not a funny one!
  "In 1999, My sophomore son, who was a star tail-back got hit and lost his left kidney. There were no bruises on his body at all. Had they not done a cat scan, he would have died. He walked off the field, and laid down. His kidney was severed in half, and was bleeding internally. Doctors were amazed he lived. His story has been brought up numerous times to the board of doctors in the hospital, and they also watched the play of how he was hit. Unfortunately, he can never play football, soccer, or wrestle again".
  
• Spain (and Valencia) keeper Santiago Canizares was ruled out of the 2002 World Cup finals after a bottle of aftershave dropped on his foot (by himself, we assume) caused cuts and serious tendon damage.
  
• David Beckham needed stitches above his left eye following a dressing room incident after Arsenal's 2-0 FA Cup win at Old Trafford on 15th Feb 2003. The injury was caused by his manager Sir Alex Ferguson kicking a football boot at him.
  
• Crystal Palace keeper Alex Kolinko was hit around the head by his boss Trevor Francis in October 2002. Kolinko was on the bench, and Francis took offence when he laughed at their conceding a goal. The FA fined Francis 1000 pounds over the incident.
  
• In 1996, Grimsby manager Brian Laws broke midfielder Ivan Bonetti's cheekbone after the Italian threw food at him in a dressing-room row. Laws escaped punishment, but they both were forced to make public apologies.
  
• Shaun Goater injured a foot while playing for Man City against Birmingham in the autumn for 2003. The injury was sustained when he kicked an advertising hoarding in celebration of a goal by Nic Anelka. Goater had to be substituted.
  
• Also in 2003, Villa striker Darius Vassell injured himself while attempting DIY surgery on his own foot. He had a blood blister under the toe-nail on his big toe and was using a power drill to drill through the nail and drain the wound. Drilling to drain such blisters is not an uncommon procedure, but normally it is conducted by a qualified person under sterile conditions. Vassell made it worse, picked up an infection, and had to have half the nail removed.
  
• Stalybridge Celtic keeper Mark Statham missed a game in 1999 after trapping his head in a car door. We presume that his absence was caused by a resulting injury (rather than that he was still stuck in the car at kick-off) but we don't know what the injury was.
  
• Halifax defender Dave Robinson put his shoulder out falling off a kid's slide
  

i saw another post yesterday where hector svensson is out for 3 years with a virus. if it was a regen it wud be quite amusing tho i assume he must have a serious illness.

colds are definetly the best. the player cant play and u get a message asking whether to send him home to avoid the illness spreading!!!! its a cold fgs

I used to have that all the time on 01/02. One player comes in with the sniffles, and next thing you know your entire first team squad is sidelined. Luckily the Mexican flu didn't exist yet at the time.

In a network I'm playing with a few friends, I was against Man Utd (human-controlled) as Chelsea. Paul Scholes came on as a sub and within 30 seconds was sent off and Deco was injured as a result of the tackle. After the game I checked the injury and it was a bruised head for Deco and Paul Scholes also had a bruised head. Thought it was funny at the time.

I used to complain about CM (as was) players being out for 3 weeks with stubbed toes, then I did it myself playing 5-a-side. I was limping for a week and didn't even want to think about kicking something so I'm guessing professional football was out of the question.

You would expect he got sent off for a head butt, though.

I seem to remember that Darren Anderton did a hamstring when do the laces up on his boots once.

yeah But it didn't say on the commentary that it was a headbutt

I went to school with a guy who did the same thing and they had to remove the growth plate from his other leg once he reached about 15 or 16 so his leg with the damage could catch up... Harsh

Didn't Greame Le Saux do something similar while walking with the ball while at Chelsea?

Nothing beats Bert Trautmann though:

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/article501385.ece

Herr Trautmann is best remembered for breaking his neck during the 1956 FA Cup Final against Birmingham City at Wembley. Diving courageously at an incoming ball, he was knocked out in a collision with a Birmingham attacker.

With no substitutions allowed, he remained on the field for the final 15 minutes, making spectacular saves to help his team to a 3-1 victory. Three days later the broken neck was diagnosed after an X-ray at a hospital in Manchester.

Some American player was out for 8 months with a broken finger on 09...

Lucky really. Just think, you could have been walking round in circles since the age of 13, lucky escape!

I remember reading a few years ago that Tony Pennock, a goalie formerly of Rushden and Diamonds, had an accident with a lawn mower while playing for Carmathern. He continued playing for a few years afterward so i assume it wasn't as awful as some lawn mower related accidents.

Leroy Lita . Done his back in "stretching" in bed.

However, he could have been Garrincha.

Unlucky mate.

That was funny especially when Coppell was interviewed about it.

I don't think it's so silly that players are out with a cold.

1) Having a cold affects your breathing, so obviously your running will suffer severely over the course of 90 minutes and make you a lot less effective. Maybe not so important at amateur level, but certainly very much so in the big leagues.

2) Exercising when you are in this sort of condition can put increased strain on the heart. This will be particularly the case at high levels. I actually have a friend who damaged their heart permanently in this way, and who can't now do any strenuous exercise at all.

3) Exercising with a cold will probably cause the cold to persist for longer than it otherwise would, leading to lower performance.

4) And of course you can infect all your team-mates!

One of my best players is out for 6 months for a serious viral infection, not a funny injury but I hadn't seen it before and it seems a bit rare.

I had that on one of my saves, saw Jamie Carragher was out for 8 months with a serious viral infection and thought to myself... swine flu?

Frantisek Planicka, a Czech goalkeeper, broke his arm in the Battle of Bordeaux but played the rest of the game anyway. Three players were sent off in that game

I once collided head first with the goal post and broke my leg? how odd lol

I had that on one of my saves, saw Jamie Carragher was out for 8 months with a serious viral infection and thought to myself... swine flu?

didnt markus babbel get some virus and was out for like 4 years? was it guilllame barre virus or something? back when he was at liverpool

Body building is the least dangerous sport out of everything, least injury rate. There are faar too many injuries due to weights on this game.

I dislocated my shoulder kicking a ball and dislocated my shoulder catching my laptop as it was falling... Fun times.

Just happened to me: Southampton defender tackles a player of mine, and get injured in the process and can't play on. However, his tackle was apparently worth a yellow card, and my free kick taker was going to take a decent free kick: I saw the player sliding all the way to the middle of the pitch in his injury position, before standing up, walking to the ref to receive his card, and walk off again.

Turns out it was a bruised rib.

That's body-building, which increases mass of muscles and makes them stronger. Very few body builders do any form of cardio-vascular training.

Football is more aerobic, which tones muscles to a degree but not stupidly strong.
