Bizaar injuries or reasons to miss a game

[mawders]

Apparently Moyes couldn't play Kagawa because he ATE too much and had to have his stomach pumped. Does anyone REALLY believe that?

What other unbelievable reasons for missing games have been given in the past?

I agree with that point.

I remember mid 80's, John Clark of Dundee Utd missing a game at Dunfermline. Official reason given was that his kids had hid his car keys. Rumour was that he had been caught sh***ing a certain Hearts players wife!!!

Didn't Beckford miss a game for us because he set off too late for the game and got caught up in traffic, not bizarre but for a top division player it must be extremely rare.

Vinny Samways refused to travel to an away game once telling Joe Royle that he had forgotten his kit.

Wasn't it Charlie George way back injured his foot with the lawnmower while cutting the grass.

Didnt Rio Ferdinand injure his hamstring reaching for the remote control?

And I think it was Canizares the Spanish keeper who missed some big games cos he dropped a bottle of aftershave on his foot.

Didn't Richard Wright injure himself with a coffee table too, or was that someone else.

edit: after research it seems Mark Fish fell through his coffee table and needed stitches and Rio Ferdinand propped his leg on his coffee table for too long and managed to injure him hammy.
