Tonight, straight after work, I went to play a particular sport with a mate. I have spent the evening swapping bags of frozen stuff on my hideously swollen knee. Can't put any weight on it and standing is an issue. Really concerned about getting to work in the morning.
The sport? Badminton. The incident? Tripping over my own feet. The shame.

When : aged 25 (1999 ish)
Sport : Street Hockey
Incident: Falling over when spinning around, put hand out to break fall, hand colided with curb.
Injury: Dislocated little finger
Embarrassment factor: 8/10 - Trip to hospital to get it put back in. Had to get wife to come from Basingstoke to Ciren to pick me up as couldn't drive. Arm in sling elevated to reduce swelling to finger. Took bloody ages to get proper movement back.
Not been on inline skates since.

1983 football match at school. My left ankle was broken by one of my best mates (he had his wrist in plaster after falling off bike). Break wasn't spotted until 45 mins of me sat on sidelines then trying to stand up. Boot was cut off!  |

My Dad was messing about at table tennis about 6 months ago and somehow tripped and to stop falling went to grab the table. He nearly missed, but caught his hand enough to dislocate and bend all his fingers upwards at 90' on the knuckle. His tendons and everything in his hand are still fucked and he hates telling people it's because he tripped playing table tennis.

Frankly for being 25 and on roller skates, you deserved it. |

When I was a youngster I used to go ice skating sometimes at the link centre.
I never did get very good at it and fell over often. One time that I fell over my wrist landed on the steps that lead off the rink, where those steps are cut up pretty badly due to the skate blades I cut myself quite badly.
The projectile bleeding was quite impressive and in no time a large pool of blood had spread across the surface of the ice, forcing them to close the rink on a busy Satruday afternoon.

Badminton is bit of a 'girly' sport.
I've done my ankle ligaments one after the other before, actually quite recently...

I've had my worst sporting injuries playing badminton.
A torn calf muscle which took months to recover, then more recently my knee bent the wrong way on me - that was 4 months before I was pain free.
Never underestimate the old battledore and shuttlecock.

My old man was watching me play football the other week. At half-time he went for a slash, and damaged his arm moving a branch: he's been receiving physio for four weeks!

I think my least heroic sporting injury would be when I broke my thumb playing football at school. Turned around to head off the pitch as it was end of lunchtime. Unknown to me the ball had already been played upfield, it bounced and hit me right on the end of the thumb causing it to swell to twice its normal size.
I then spent the next two hours in class moaning that my thumb was broken because the school wouldn't let me go home.
I also fractured my wrist saving a toe punt from just a few yards, but I think that's more heroic as I prevented a goal.
