I was watching the Aus v Canada game in the Rugby World Cup last saturday night, when an incident got me thinking about a fun thread idea.
The Wallabies #8, David Lyons came off the field with a foot/leg iunjury. A bit of history ... before the tournament began, Lyons was diagnosed with Deep Vein Thrombosis ... life threatening. He underwent some experimental surgery to get rid of the clots, so he could fly to France to play in the tournament, virtually risking his life to play for his country.
David Lyons is also the least-athletic looking sportsperson I've ever seen. Like Cameron Smith with baby fat.
He runs on for his first game, against Canada, and is soon seen limping to the sidelines. Turns out he broke his leg in a tackle.
Poor bugger.
So I thought we could come up with an award, the David Lyons Unlucky Bugger award, for the unluckiest sportsperson. Anyone got other unlucky buggers to tell us about?
