I broke my leg in 27 places, had plates and screws put in and never lost a single day from work!
I look back now and think: idiot! You could have sat on your arse for weeks doing nothing! Or had my hair and nails done while having a go at Gerard H!

...due to spotting John Gregory on the chair lift and trying to remove his salopettes while going through the final gate.

Post by: Handsworth Wood Villa on February 09, 2012, 11:53:21 AM: He was a really talented skier as a kid.

He could have turned professional but he chose football instead.

He actually loves skiing but he hasn't been able to do it during his playing career for fear of injury.

And it's a good thing he made that decision judging by this news...

Post by: Villafirst on February 10, 2012, 05:05:28 PM: That's a bad injury - I've cracked one rib in the past and that was agony let alone breaking 5. Some of the comments on here are bad taste - remember: what goes around comes around....

I bet he's piste off.

Was he on the piste or sober?

Was he pushed or did he dive?

Post by: Hopadop on February 10, 2012, 08:51:50 PM: "David is in pain," a friend told BBC Sport. "He doesn't remember anything."

That's enough about the Villa, how's the skiing injury?

Well I imagine trying to ski whilst taking a driver from the fairway is dangerous.
