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!

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.

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...

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....

Was he on the piste or sober?

Was he pushed or did he dive?

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