"...you can see Dirk Kuyt running around like Forrest Gump non-stop for 120 minutes if necessary, that shows their passion and commitment."

Did Carra actually 'play on' after breaking his leg at Blackburn??? I thought he was carried off. This mythification is getting out of hand.

[honourablegeorge]

Pretty sure he was carried off, yeah.

[Gunga Din]

Pretty sure he was carried off, yeah.

 

he walked off. or hobbled off. but he did want to try and run it off

not carried, he hobbled off leaning against a medic.

Right. Hardly Gerry Byrne though.

[Coyler]

I think in fairness to Gerry and Jamie, both would agree that it's easier to carry on playing football with a broken collarbone than a broken leg.

[kendo]

I'll see your broken collarbone and raise you a broken neck

Bert Trautmann

Nominated by Manchester City

Trautmann was Manchester City’s German-born ‘keeper who earned hero status for playing out the last 15 minutes of the 1956 Final with a broken neck. They were winning 3-1 when he rushed from his goal to dive at the feet of Birmingham’s Peter Murphy, injuring himself in the process. He stayed and didn’t concede

 

Them were the days

Look, I'm not knocking Carragher. He's shown incredible courage and strength over the years. But that's why I think it isn't necessary to start claiming he ran around with various limbs hanging off like the knight in Monty Python's Holy Grail.

One of the Soviet defenders played witha broken collarbone in 1956 Olympics final against Yugoslavia (won 1-0).

that's nothing.

 

john arne riise turns out for us every single match without a right leg or a frontal lobe.

[gkmacca]

And let's not forget Bellamy, who played with no neck, or brain, every match.

[Guest Kaizer]

Alonso played on with an broken ankle.

[Kite]

Alonso played on with an broken ankle.

And stamped on a few times to check if it hurt much.

[Hassony]

Robbie savage once finished a game with a broken nail

That was the Lampard tackle in 04-05 wasn't it?

 

Was funny (in a way) that...first he tried to run it off, then he stamped it about three or four times.

[DonRafa]

Ouch! I remember that Hard as fecin nails our Spanish lads

 

On another note, I believe Placcy once played on with a broken eyelash - I kid you not

Luis in the Anfield derby too. Struggling alone up front with an injury.

[CarraLegend]

Aye, the first of about 25 s***houses tackles he's done on Alonso.

Did Beckenbauer not play on with his arm in a sling during a WC?
