Professional Footballer hurt by exploding egg!

[daftscotsman]

Is this a first??

"A Scottish footballer was hospitalised after being scalded when an egg exploded in his face.

Glasgow Rangers defender Kirk Broadfoot was inspecting two eggs he had poached in his microwave when one exploded and squirted scalding water in his face.

The Daily Record reports Broadfoot immediately phoned his parents who rushed to his home in Ballochmyle, Ayrshire, and took him to hospital.

Teamtalk.com reports the 25-year-old full-back was treated for injuries to his cheek after the incident on May 10 but was otherwise unhurt. His condition is now being monitored by Rangers’ club doctors and he is expected to make a full recovery.

According to the Daily Record, the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents say 500 Britons needed hospital treatment after "egg-related incidents" in 2002, the last year such data was collected."

I suppose that being a footballer, he rolled over at least 6 times, cooking was stopped for 5 minutes while the physios treated him, was removed on a stretcher and came back 1 minute later as if nothing had happened.

Cynic?? Moi??

A roughy toughy pro footballer at 25 who phones his mummy when he burns his cheek to get a lift to the hospital?
I'm surprised he didnt just call for a stretch Limo taxi.
Don't get me started

Don't laugh but my wife did the same - undercooked an egg in boiling water so zapped it in the micro for 20 seconds. The thing went off like a grenade. I was laughing so much she didn't make me help her clean the egg from the ceiling....

but the funny thing was that he had to phone his parents first!!

 

[Dodger]

Apparently he won the pools with Littlewoods but they are refusing to pay up as he burnt his coupon!

Bigger laugh was the headline in the Daily Retard 'Rangers ACE gets hurt in microwave accident'

What surprises me more then anything else is that a pro footballer KNOWS how to work a microwave.

Don't they have people to come in and do that for them.
