WORST SPORTS INJURIES THROUGH HISTORY
10 LUC NILIS
Luc Nilis, a football player, suffered a double break
in his leg in September of 2000 when he collided
with goalkeeper Richard Wright. The break was so
bad that there was a chance that part of the leg
might have needed to be amputated. Fortunately
for Nilis, this wasn't the case. Unfortunately for Nilis,
the injury did end his career.
9 WILLIS MCGAHEE
Willis McGahee, an american footballer who played
for the University of Miami, suffered a broken leg in
the 2003 National Championship game against the
Buckeyes. McGahee continued on with his career,
and is now a seasoned veteran in the NFL.
8 MICHAEL STICH
In 1995, Tennis player Michael stitch completely
snapped the bone in his left ankle. This, like many
others on this list, turned out to be a career ender.
7 BRYCE FLORIE
Bryce Florie is remembered for suffering a facial
injury that occurred on September 8, 2000 in a
baseball game at Fenway Park. The Yankee's Ryan
Thompson hit a line drive off Florie's face, causing
multiple broken bones and eye damage.
6 DJIBRIL CISSE
Djibril Cisse (football player) suffered from not one
broken leg but two. The first break happened in
2004, breaking his tibia and fibula. There was a
possibility that he would lose the leg, but good
medical attention managed to repair it. The second
break occurred in 2006. He also managed to come
back from this, and continued to play football.
5 ERIC LEGRAND
Eric LeGrand became paralysed from the waist
down whilst making a tackle in an american football
game. Since becoming paralyzed, LeGrand has
regained some movement in his shoulders, and some
sensation throughout his body.
4 ALLEN RAY
Allen Ray, a basketball player, had his eye poked
out. Ray, playing for Villanova, was reaching for a
loose ball, and inadvertently had his eye scraped.
The eye, fortunately, didn't come all the way out, and
Ray was able to resume playing later that season.
3 JOE THEISMANN
Theismann, broke his leg whilst playing american
football. He was tackled by Lawrence Taylor and fell
awkwardly so that his leg was trapped under Taylor.
He completely broke his leg, and the bone was
exposed. This was also a career-ender.
2 KEVIN WARE
Kevin Ware's injury was very similar to Theismann's
During a basketball game, Ware completely broke
his leg and the bone was exposed. Ware's Injury was
a fluke accident, pure and simple. There was no
collision, no tangling of legs, nothing.
1. CLINT MALARCHUK
Malachuk, an ice hockey player, had his throat
sliced open by a skate in 1989. It severed his
jugular vein. His life was saved by a team trainer, Jim
Pizzutelli, who, from serving in Vietnam, knew to pinch
the jugular closed, to prevent more blood from
escaping. Three players vomited while this was
going on, and 11 fans fainted. Malachuk continued
to play, and retired a few years later. WHAT IS THE MOST DANGEROUS SPORT?
