Gers star hurt by exploding egg

 

Broadfoot has been a regular for Rangers since signing from St Mirren

Rangers defender Kirk Broadfoot was taken to hospital after an egg he was microwaving exploded in his face.

 

The 25-year-old Scotland international was poaching the egg at his home near Mauchline, Ayrshire, when the accident happened.

 

It is understood hot liquid squirted onto his face and scalded his cheek when he opened the microwave door.

 

The footballer was treated in hospital, before being allowed to go home following the incident on Sunday.

 

Full back Broadfoot was signed by the Glasgow club from St Mirren two years ago and has become a regular in the team.

 

Twisted ankle

 

He scored on his debut for the Scottish national team in a 2-1 victory over Iceland in September 2008.

 

His injury is the latest bizarre mishap to have been suffered by a football star in recent years.

 

Former Everton goalkeeper Richard Wright missed an FA Cup match against Chelsea in the 2005-06 season when he ignored a sign warning players not to warm up in the goalmouth, before tripping over it and twisting his ankle.

 

Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand once strained a tendon in his knee when he put his leg up on a coffee table while watching television.

 

And veteran goalkeeper Dave Beasant spent two months on the sidelines in 2001 after dropping a bottle of salad cream on his foot, severing the tendon in his big toe.

 

 

 

HAHAHA!

Salad cream is fucking muck. Beasant deserved that.

[odris]

What the fuck! Even i know how to cook an egg.

[PaulMcC]

He's one of the worst players i've ever seen.

 

I'd love him to join a Premier league team in the summer. It'd be pure entertainment.

[El Rojo]

Was the egg laid by a hun?

[Bigsy]

not as funny as michael stensgaard.

 

MICHAEL STENSGAARD: The Danish goalkeeper was forced to retire after suffering an injury to his shoulder while he attempted to fold down an ironing board.

Tommy Smith dropped an Axe on his foot and missed the 78 European Cup final.

Top 20 Weird & Wonderful Football Injuries

 

"Footballers and DIY eh? When will they learn? In fact, make that MEN and DIY eh? When will we learn? We all like to think we can sort a multitude of little problems out around our own home, it’s natural. But not all of us go to the extreme lengths that Aston Villa’s Darius Vassell went to upon encountering such problems. Vassell, spotting a blood blister beneath the nail on his big toe, took the only sensible course of action. Reaching for his Black & Decker, Vassell drilled straight through the nail, in order to drain the blister. It worked as well, until he picked up a blood infection and had to have the whole nail removed."

 

As you do

I seen Broadfoot get penalised 4 times in 2 games for foul throws. What kind of footballer cant even take a throw? Other than that, hes just a really poor footballer.

That’ll teach him for having Eggs Benedict for breakfast.

Even unborn chickens hate the huns!

Lazy bastard. He must be on several thousand pounds per week, so why is he living as if in student digs? That range cooker in his "crib" must be for show!

[Torvald Utne]

my girlfriend managed to do the same thing last week except hers was with homemade leg wax, primarily boiling brown sugar...she didn't go to the hospital though like a big pussy.

The best one I can remember was Canizares (spelling?) - that blondie Valenica goalie. If I recall correctly, he dropped a bottle of aftershave on his foot, and missed the 2002 World Cup for Spain.

 

Something like that ....

Kirk Clubfoot as my mate calls him.
