Remembering David Busst’s horrific injury

Eduardo da Silva’s horrendous leg break over the weekend when Arsenal faced Birmingham has rekindled interest in what was probably the worst injury in the history of the Premiership. David Busst suffered a severe leg break during a corner when Coventry played Manchester United back in 1996.

Busst lay in agony after a collision with Denis Irwin as he charged the back post after a flick on. The crowd was shocked into silence as Busst required his legs strapped together before being stretchered off.

Players from both teams were visibly shocked at the event. Most couldn’t bear to watch as the blood stained pitched required the grounds keepers to clean up scene.

He required a total of 20 operations, but the injury ended Busst’s career because of complications after the fact.

  4. I'm truly enjoying the design and layout of your website. It's
    a very easy on the eyes which makes it much more enjoyable for me to come
    here and visit more often. Did you hire out a designer to create your theme?

    Excellent work!

  5. I am new to building web sites and I was wondering if
    having your website title relevant to your articles
    and other content really that vital? I notice your title,
    "Blogger: Football Commentator " does appear to be spot on with what your website is
    about yet, I prefer to keep my title less content descriptive and
    based more around site branding. Would you think this is a good idea or bad idea?

    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
