Gully said:A lad died in the 70's after playing for Steyning Grammar School. Apparently he sustained a cut on his knee during a game, carried on playing, but unfortunately the wound got muddy. He went home, complained of feeling unwell and went to bed early, during the night his parents called the doctor and had him admitted to hospital where he died a few hours later. It turned out that he had suffered an infection of his blood, caused by the mud on his cut knee.
The only reason I remembered this was that his parents donated a trophy to the school, in their sons' memory, to be awarded to the student who contributed most to football. The award was not necessarily to the best player, but was usually awarded to someone who played for the second eleven.

thedonkeycentrehalf said:Have seen quite a few breaks etc and the worst of these was when I thought the guys shinpad had come through his sock until someone pointed out that it was actually his bone.
Also saw a nasty cut - team mate did a sliding tackle and caught his thigh on a flint. The cut was so deep you could see right into the muscle on his leg.
Arthritic Toe said:I remember it like it was yesterday. Windy day on the rugby field - the ball wouldn't standup so another guy in the team held it upright for the kicker. The kicker made contact with the guys head rather than the ball. It took his head clean off and it sailed between the posts from 50 yards. Brilliant kick.
