I feel like asking how it happened, but i'm afraid the answer won't be what I imagine it to be. XD

My foot? Probably not and it sounds real soft, but it was something as innocuous as getting out of the car. Just completely collapsed under me. Fifth metatarsal. Which runs along the outside. Worst possible one to break in terms of full heal. Minimum 12 weeks. And throw in I apparently have high arches on my feet, it was another month on top before it was fully healed.

Reminds you just how fragile your body can be.

I broke 2nd, 3rd and 4th in my left foot and dislocated my heel hurt at the time but after pain relief was fine. For me the worst part was being immobile was awful, god forbid I ever end up in a wheel chair.

Absolutely. The first few days to a week when I was basically completely immobile and house bound ..... man, talk about taking your independence for granted. That was the absolute worst. The feeling of complete helplessness ..... And honestly, it wasn't until it got to the stage where I could put pressure on it and support with just one crutch to get around that I was starting to get back to normality. Aside from the fact I'd never had to use crutches in my life and all that entails getting used to them, you're still so limited on two.

In all the years I played footie, I never had one injury outside of a couple of concussions. And I was ostensibly a right back so went through some real physical challenges. Then you just do something as simple as getting out of a car and bang, your foot goes underneath you. Couldn't make it up.

Concussions are a real pain I'll have to quit contact sport on doctors advice if I get another as I seem to have made an annoying habit of picking them up one was so bad I was apparently 5 years out on most things for a while not fun but, they are the only injury I ever got
 
Nice to see we are all exchanging injury stories here. We make Sturridge look like a 20 in Natural Fitness. XD

Could have been more embarrassing Scouse, you could be Ever Banega who had to have surgery on his ankle after being run over....by himself
 
Could be worse still, I bet none of you guys have broken your own hand in your sleep!
 
Also - Clyne, Moreno, Lovren, Coutinho and Firmino are all one booking away from a Europa League suspension. Difficult to imagine they'll all avoid it, which is particularly worrying if one of the fullbacks is booked as Flanno isn't registered

Now that would be painful to be woken to. Again, we just don't realise how fragile our body's are.

Counting down the hours to 7:50 AM Thursday morning and the flight to Cologne!


This is going to be one **** of a top trip whatever happens on the pitch.


As a born and bred Liverpudlian, who's club is intrinsically woven into the rich fabric of European football being one of the biggest and most successful clubs on the Continent, THIS is what you live for as a match going fan. Experiences and memory's like this that money just can not buy.


UEFA must be creaming themselves that for the second straight round they have a Europa League tie that overshadows the Champions League in terms of World wide interest.

I jumped to head a ball of the line and someone jumped to try and hit the ball in with his foot I got the ball first so his boot flew into my head and then it also hit the post as I fell. I thought Bush was the president of the US in 2011 and a couple of other

Ouch. Nasty. My two from football (unless getting separated from the escort and getting kicked to **** at Newcastle early '90's counts. I was fair walking round in circles the train home after that) have both come being sandwiched between two opponents. One clearing a header, and they butted my head back and front. Two weeks before I was allowed to play after that. And the other from charging down the wing and cutting inside and both the full back and big *** centre half got me from either side with elbows flying.
 
Two more sleeps before he returns home for the love in of ALL love in's.


Something tells me Klopp will be like the preverbal kid at Christmas right now counting down the hours.


I know I am. XD.

We'll rock it next week matey every bit as loud and colourful. And town will be nuts with Dortmund fans. One continued party. I know quite a few are planning on going the memorial Friday.

Still trying for yer auld fella'. Time yet mate.
 
It's like Alaves 2001 all over again when he drove himself down from Hamburg, without a ticket, and was absolutely mullered in the square, on a table, bare chested, beating his Liverbird tattoo, getting his OWN song going. Lads a living LEGEND! (Even if he was one of the very few talentless Dutchmen ever haha.).
Meijer Sports Media Retweeted THE ANFIELD WRAP
Erik will be in Dortmund on time, 100% !! Wearing a Red Scarf!

Meijer Sports Media added,
