Remember the Titans
with Denzel Washington. The scene where Julius finds out Bertier is paralysed and the entire team are in the waiting room.

Reminds me of when we were 16, a mate i used to play rugby with broke his neck when a scrum collapsed, and became paralysed from the neck down. Made even more upsetting because we told the ref the other team were binding illegally and he consistantly let them away with it.

I weep every time i see Remember the Titans and always make an excuse to leave the room when that scene starts if im watching it with other people. The song over the top of it (Fire and Rain by James Taylor) produces a similar response (it was also the song playing in the waiting room when the doc thought i had testicular cancer. She was wrong - thank God)

Also get tears of rage when we play the opposition again. I hope they all burn.

Bollocks to your apologies for length.
