This seems to have slipped under the radar in all today's excitement.

Soft twat!
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!

 'Skiiing, because you're worth it'.

 I think not.

I can just picture him weaving effortlessly between the poles before ruining all the hard work by snow-ploughing into a tree.

I can just picture him weaving effortlessly between the poles before ruining all the hard work by snow-ploughing into a tree...

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

serves him right for being fat as JG said

I bet he's piste off.

[Dave Clark Five]

Sir Doug will have him covered under the family insurance policy, being his second father.

I am surprised he hurt himself, he was always tops at falling over- hope he didn't damage any of his follicles.

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...

Injured in a skiing accident?  Well, he left he Villa and it's all gone down hill since.

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....

David Ginola injured himself skiiing. Apparently the guy on his left elbowed Daveed in the ribs just as he finished. he haw.

[SashasGrandad]

I bet he's piste off.

Was he on the piste or sober?

Was he pushed or did he dive?

[Californian Villain]

Surprised nobody has mention Ginola "carrying a bit of timber"..........I'm sure it can be fitted in somewhere.
