Results tagged “Arsenal” from Birmingham Mail - Veron Graham

You don't have to talk about football for long without hearing about the excessive wages the top players are on. However when you see injuries like that poor Eduardo Da Silva of Arsenal sustained the other day, it bears mentioning that there is flip side to taking in all that fame and fortune.

The man's foot was partially severed from his leg at the ankle in a triple break!

As an ex-boxer, I've long had contempt for the way some players fall and roll around like big girl's blouses after the slightest touch but footballers really put themselves on the line each time they cross that white line.

Having said that, do these soccer stars deserve our sympathy or are these injuries just an occupational hazard which every working person faces?
