🎥 Halloween horror! Five of football's worst ever injuries 🎃 | OneFootball

To celebrate Halloween, we’ve had a think about some of the most gruesome injuries football has caused over the years, and it turns out there’s quite a lot of them. Who says it’s a sport for wimps?

Here’s the top five …

(Seriously, watch the following videos with extreme caution)

5. Djibril Cisse

Former Liverpool and France striker Cisse must have broken a few mirrors in his time, because he suffered not one but two horrific leg breaks during his career.

And if you’re into that sort of thing, you can watch them both here …

4. Luke Shaw

Shaw’s good form for Manchester United this season is all the more impressive when you consider that just a couple of years ago, he suffered a leg break so bad that it almost had to be amputated.

If you’re the kind of sick person who’d like to re-live it, you can do so here …

3. Eduardo Da Silva

Arsenal were gunning for the Premier League title when they travelled to face Birmingham City in September 2003 but a shocking tackle from Martin Taylor on Eduardo left the Croatian international forward with a horrible broken leg.

He ended up being sidelined for over a year with the injury, and the title went to Manchester United.

2. Luc Nilis

Aston Villa pulled off a huge coup when they brought Belgian striker Nilis to the Midlands in 2000, but just three games into his Villa career, he suffered a nasty leg break following a collision with Ipswich Town goalkeeper Richard Wright.

Sadly, the injury was so bad that he never played for Villa, or anybody else for that matter, ever again.

1. David Busst

The daddy of all injuries. This writer remembers watching this one as a child and having nightmares about it for weeks afterwards.

Former Coventry City defender Busst suffered a sickening leg break at Old Trafford which ended his career in 1996.

It was so bad that Red Devils goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel vomited and needed counselling afterwards.

Those nightmares are probably going to come back again now. Why oh why did we decide to write this article?

Happy Halloween.
