#7 – Yet Another Horrific Leg Snap
In a France versus China friendly on 7th June 2006, French striker Djibril Cisse was knocked off balance by a Chinese defender, causing him to fall, twisting and buckling his leg above the ankle. He suffered a compound shin bone fracture, where the bone poked through the skin, which required immediate surgery. Teammate Thiery Henry later said, ‘It’s so tough to hear Djibril scream like that.’ Yeah, bet it was, but not as tough as it was for Djibril himself!
