Great injuries of our time...

A cornucopia of spurt this weekend what with England holding off France at the Rugby and Spurs securing a minor triumph for new boss Juande Ramos in the Carling Cup.

But as always it’s a return to work on Monday morn to toil in the sport-less mines of our evil overlord paymasters. Strangely, there was little or no time this w/e for this particular spurter to actually catch much sport, but we never let such trifles - even for a moment - pause our non-stop flow of ill-informed analysis, comment and bile.

First up that Eduardo leg breaker. Ouch. Looks bloody painful and let’s hope he makes a full recovery soon. Naturally, of course this brought to mind the worst sports injuries of yore and discussions raged long and hard amongst us spurters.

However for my money the worst I’ve ever seen on TV or in the flesh was acclaimed Washington Redskins quarter back Joe Theismann. Sacked by the NY Giants linebackers Lawrence Taylor and Harry Carson, if you can watch this classic YouTuber without wincing and feeling nauseous then Jesus, you’re a better man (or lady) than us.

Oh and here's the interactive bit... It's good to share - spurt your own worst sporting injuries via that handy comment section below.
