Anyone remember the Watford player who feigned injury and was carried off, the stretcher party then proceeded to drop him, I think he broke his leg and was out injured for a long while.
Cañizares' missed 2002 World Cup, but he missed out on the tournament due to an accident with an aftershave bottle, which resulted in a severed tendon in his foot. Beat that
Emerson, the former Roma and Madrid midfielder, missed a World Cup (2006?) when in pre-tournament training he was dicking about in goal and had his arm broken.

Kirk Broadfoot was taken to hospital after an egg he was microwaving exploded in his face and Kevin Kyle spent a night in hospital in 2006 when his eight-month-old son kicked a jug of boiling water over his crotch.
"DARIUS VASSELL: The then Aston Villa striker missed several games after he drilled through his toe nail with a home power drill thinking it would relieve the pressure on a swollen toe. The attempt at DIY surgery succeeded only in giving the toe an infection which required medical attention."

I vaguely recall an Arsenal player, I believe it was Andy Linigan, suffering a broken arm on account of being lifted up and dropped to the floor by Tony Adams whilst celebrating a cup win.

The famous joke was that he got injured falling off a donkey.
I'd not heard the Vassell injury story before. I wonder if he drills his own teeth when he needs fillings.

My mate got run over during a match at central park Dagenham. Mind you he had knocked the owner of the car for 5 grand. It was the funniest thing I've ever seen on a football pitch.
When Charlton Athletic played Newcastle United inthe semi-final of the FA Cup in 1947, goalkeeper Sam Bartram played with a hot poultice on his stomach to counter the affects of food poisoning. Charlton won and went on to win the Cup.
