» Embarrassing Injuries

Too many rugby stories, heres the best....
Sometime back in my University days (93-97) I attended the rugby match which opened the new Banbury Rugby Club House.

This was Banbury 1st XV vs England Veterans.

Within about fifteen minutes theres a huge tackle and pile up on the touch line in front of me and the ref starts unpicking the mess.

The guy at the bottom is an england vet and is lying on his back....

Ref says: "Get up"
He says: "I cant move below the neck...."

So the whole game is called to a halt for half an hour while a special back injuries ambulance comes from Oxford and ferries this guy to A&E.

Later in the evening we are drinking in the bar and the injured guy walks into the bar with a neck brace on.

Looking a little surprised we ask him how he is and why he is now walking.

He says: "I have this dodgy nerve in my neck and if it gets hit right, that happens, but it goes away once the swelling goes down!!!!!".....

Us: "Stop playing you FOOL!"
