Scariest things seen on a footy ground

[Loyal Lion]

That vision of Richard Osborne laying on the ground motionless, after that head clash was the worst thing I've seen. What made it more melodramatic was the ambulance coming into the arena to take Ossie away. Didn't know whether Ossie was still with us. That was a 1993 game against Geelong at the SCG I think.

Other things which are burnt in the memory are:

Locket's clash with Caven. Just sickening!

Osborne's knee in 89. Worst knee injury ever ?

Nathan Brown's leg snap was horrific too.

How about having to face, Ditterich, Muir, Sarau, Sidebottom in 78 must have been scary too ??? The Bomber's Terry Cahill must still have nightmares over that clash.

The Magro Jezza clash;
Plugger trying to kill Craig Nettlebeck by choking him.
The day the 4 Danihers played at once. All children under 5 were asked to leave.
Helen Demica's muff

 

[EFL Boy]

jimmy hird getting his face practically shattered at Subiaco one day a few years back.......

 

[PumpyChowdown]

St. Kilda's Robbie Muir decking about 6 player in 30 seconds in the late '70's. Looked like a war zone and is one of my earliest memories of footy.

edit: Oh, and Warrick Cappers shorts.

there was a young kid playing for the kangaroos playing the first game of the 99 or 2000 season that got knocked out so badly he started convulsing (i think it was against essendon, as for some reason i remember that matty lloyd was the one to knock him out..)

that and trent hentschel's knee from 2006, was as bad as browny's broken leg

 

[Cerpin Taxt]

Nathan Brown for me. Something like Snell was in reality much worse, but the footage of Brown's injury was so clear and disturbing. Even with Hird at Subi - it looked bad but I don't think we knew until a bit later just how horrific it really was.

Voss' leg snap was pretty horrific too.
Totally unrelated, but Edwardo's (EPL match) snapped leg was the worst thing I have ever seen on a sporting field. Was watching the game at the time and they didn't show the actual incident. Saw it on YouTube a few days later and honestly wished I hadn't.

 

[PUSSIES_07_FLAG]

Snell's ankle

I feel like throwing up a the mere mention.

 

[Exeter]

Dwanyne Lamb flat on his back unconscious and convulsing.

Swallowed his tongue I think.

 

[Kramer1]

Ang Christou's wang hangin out the side of his shorts.

 

[Johnnyprinias]

Jamie Lawson entering the ground.

 

[Penski]

Voss and N.Brown both snapping their legs.

Slow motion replays should be banned of those images!

In fact, any slow-mo of someone hyper-extending a joint is shocking to watch.

I can remember the front page of the herald sun years ago with Tony Shaw holding his arm whilst his elbow bent in the opposite direction after Laurie Keane fell on top of him.

 

[always right]

Neil Sachse 1975 versus Fitzroy. Second game for Footscray and his last. Very sad.

John Greening 1972 versus St Kilda. Never saw the incident......just the aftermath. One of the lowest acts ever on a football field.

 

[Geelong_Sicko]

I think his name was Jamie Lawson - he played 50-odd for the Swans in the early to mid 90's. His leg snap was far worse than Nathan Brown's, and finished his promising career immediately. Sickening...

 

[Don Envy]

Out at Waverley, Plugger had Brad Fox in a headlock so tight that Fox's whole head turned dark purple. All I could think was we were about to witness a murder on the footy field in front of us. We were all yelling to the umpires and police to go there and do something about it before it was too late. Very scary at the time.

That's unusual because soccer is such a soft game that it's very rare for people to get hurt -- though plenty of them pretend they're hurt lol. It must have been pretty unuasual circumstances.

Rubbish. There are always many leg, ankle and foot injuries

 

[WA ROO]

Darren Creswell.

All I really remember is someone in a Sydney jumper hitting his kneecap from being at the side of his leg to the front.Nearly threw up watching it

Soft? Obviously you havent played at senior level in the suburban leagues.

Yeah, that was Cressa. He did it at Kardinia Park - forget which year it was now. Too many brain cells I've killed with alcohol!...

Vossie's leg snap at Subi was nightmarish stuff.
