24 years ago today:

how did he get on

 

[sledger]

how did he get on

Well people called Henry are always amazing at everything and super cool and attractive.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Man that Marcelo leg break incident is the worst I've ever seen. That **** is ****ed.

 

[BoyBrumby]

So obviously I had to Google that.

It's a bad 'un. Career ender I'd guess. There's something very disquieting about seeing limbs at angles they're not meant to be.

David Busst still edges it for the worst I've seen though:

pic removed ~spark

If memory serves the groundsmen had to try to hose the blood off the pitch and cover up what couldn't be removed with sawdust.

 

[Uppercut]

I remember that picture being absolutely everywhere in the 90s. Less squeamish times.

I think Schmeichel immediately puked and later got trauma counselling for it.

 

[sledger]

Yeah I'd have been happier if you hadn't posted that tbh Brumby.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Yeah probably should delete the photo

 

[duffer]

Holy crap, I wasn't ready for that pic

I think I remember watching the Dave Busst game. But might be a false memory as (per Uppercut) that image definitely did the rounds at the time. I remember a similar video with Henrik Larsson which had slo-mo showing his lower leg dangling free (so to speak) as his shin had been clean broken half way between ankle and knee.

I always thought the worst one was Cisse of Liverpool as the player just clipped his leg from behind and his leg just snapped.

Pretty sure it was actually Larsson's shin pad which was broken and made it look worse than it was.

 

[GIMH]

I remember the Busst one, seem to remember schmeichel running to the edge of the box to throw up

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

Long shot I know but any Kiwis know anything about Max Mata as he is signing for Shrewsbury and we all hope he is better than Kris Bright who was also a Kiwi International who was utter dogs hit.

Dunno about his football, but I think a Max Mata starred as one of the ranchers in The Power of the Dog. Can't be too common a name. But unlikely to be the same person.

So @GIMH is James Norwood going to propel us back up to league 2?

I would have to imagine so.
It’s quite strange to me that he’s gone back down that low - in the L1 play-off final he was the best player on the pitch.

Probably not got the killer pace he had for us but should fire plenty of goals and get defenders into all sorts of trouble.

Cracking signing at that level.

I want to take the opportunity, on the auspicious occasion of the beginning of English Championship season to remark, How is James Ward-Prowse still in Southapmton?
