West Brom manager has come out saying that Steven Reid played 45 minutes of the game against Arsenal with a broken leg... A BROKE F$%£ING LEG!

"He played for 45 minutes with a broken leg, which shows the character of the boy. We didn't release the injury but it was a fractured fibula he got against Arsenal."

I've always admired the lad and thought he was treated fairly ****ty by Trap. The boy has serious heart and the balls the size of Bengali tigers it seems.

Chucky the tree

Broken legs can be very different. It always sounds impressive though when you here stories like this.

Rumour has it he broke it himself. Was finding Podolski to easy to mark so thought to give himself a bit of a challenge

That boy is an entirely different kettle of fish. As if he was part of a master race or sumit...

Some guy played a chunk of a cup final with a broken neck.

Back when men were men.

That's Bernhard 'Bert' Trautmann Incognito was on about. Ex-German POW fella who played for city back in the 50's.

This doesn't surprise me at all. The guy is one of the hardest workers in the game. A couple of years ago when he was out with a knee injury for pretty much the whole season he was still working on every other part of his body in the gym every day. He spent up to six hours a day working out. Its the reason he was in such great shape when he came back from it.
