Can you imagine being hit in the face with an official size 5 match day ball? I have and it's not nice. Now just imagine it when it's been hit by a pro. This what you get.
This shit must have hurt, as it did me when i played. WOW! I think i would have had to recover for a year after this one.
Anyone remember this? It was when Wimbledon played Newcastle United in 1987 in the old Division 1 (now the Premier League) The player squeezing the nuts is Vinnie Jones, who played for Wimbledon, and later Leeds United, Sheffield United, Chelsea, back to Wimbledon, and then finishing his career with Queens Park Rangers. Movie goers would know him better as The Juggernaut from X-Men: The Last Stand, Big Chris in Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Bullet Tooth Tony in Snatch, Ewan McStarley in The Condemned and Mahogany in The Midnight Meat Train to name a few. The player screaming about the nuts is Paul Gascoigne who played for Newcastle United, Tottenham Hotspur, Lazio, Glasgow Rangers, Middlesborough, Everton, Burnley, Gansu Tianma and finishing his career at Boston United. Paul Gascoigne also became famous for crying after being booked in the Semi-Final of the 1990 World Cup against West Germany, which would have meant that if England had beaten West Germany, he would have missed the Final with Argentina due to a yellow card accumulation from a previous game.

Quote Of The Week
"I didn't expect it to come so quickly. It's been hard to keep up with. There's been articles in the papers that say I've got too big for my boots but people who know me say I'm just the same. Things have changed in my life but I haven't--too many people would knock me down if I did." David Beckham, on fame
