Roostophe Posted June 12, 2007 Posted June 12, 2007 That probably occured after the match:) Let's look at the facts: On 6 September 1989, while playing for England in a vital World Cup qualifier in Sweden, Butcher suffered a deep cut to his forehead early in the game which would have prompted most players to be withdrawn from play for urgent medical attention. Butcher, however, had some impromptu stitches inserted by the physiotherapist and, swathed in bandages, continued playing. His constant heading of the ball - unavoidable when playing in the centre of defence - disintegrated the bandages and reopened the cut to the extent that his white England shirt was entirely red by the end of the game. This match remains his defining moment as one of England's great footballing heroes. So, no, mcj, no, it wasn't.
motion Posted June 12, 2007 Posted June 12, 2007 I'm sure the current England players like Beckham and Crouch would do the same LMAO
Problematique Posted June 12, 2007 Posted June 12, 2007 Also, any of you guys apart from the Irish ones obviously, familiar with Gaelic Football? Yep, I've played for my college before.
conzer16 Posted June 12, 2007 Posted June 12, 2007 Yep, I've played for my college before. Which college is that Problematique? What position were you?

Roostophe Posted June 12, 2007 Posted June 12, 2007 I'm sure the current England players like Beckham and Crouch would do the same LMAO Maybe they would, maybe they wouldn't, but I can picture Steven Gerrard all bandaged up and bloody, and still play. A lot of players would carry on playing if they cut their head open, a year ago Sol Campbell played with a broken nose. But sometimes a player would have to be taken off even if they only suffered a slight knock to the ankle that stops them from running for the duration. There have been so many cases of players suffering career-ending injuries (David Busst is a decent example), that you can't tolerate players who fake rolling on the ground writhing in pain so they can get a player sent off.
Problematique Posted June 12, 2007 Posted June 12, 2007 Which college is that Problematique? What position were you? Exeter College (Oxford). We were playing cuppers and happened to be the only team with no Irishmen in it :p I played on the left, around midfield and half back.
Zell Posted June 12, 2007 Posted June 12, 2007 I'm sure the current England players like Beckham and Crouch would do the same LMAO Beckham and Crouch wouldn't, but I would imagine that people like John Terry or Stevey Gerrard would.
