i got ko in the soccer field

When i was young, my mum work in the hospital as a chief nurse. So when ever i have a medical problem, i can always go into the emergency wardwithout waiting. But now as i already grow up, i have to do everything on my own. I haven't had the 'emergency' experience in HK for a long time already.

Thing start like this: A day after the SIHK soccer match, I have another soccer match in SHEK KIP MEI PARK. Everything happen as usual until that moment.

It is 5 min after the 2nd half started, we were under fire. A ball was cross from the left side 45 degree toward the box. As I was the left back, the ball just flew over my head. I then turned around & look toward the goal, the only thing I see is a head flying into my face with full speed. It was too fast for me to react. I end up lifting my head a little bit & accept a head-on collusion . This is THE TOP OF A HEAD vs MY CHIN. It is a 300lbs (weight x speed)uppercut from a skull.

Both were end up on the ground. Before the stars disappear from my head. I heard from other players," DON'T MOVE THEM, CALL THE AMBULANCE." I do have a very very very painful chin & jaw at that time, but i never except anything serious. I thought it must be the other player. Then people ask me not to touch the chin, there is an 1.5 inch cut. I was ask to lie on my side & they just pull water on my cut. I see the water become red when it go pass my chin (Spurs hate red). The ambulance come very soon.

We went to the hospital together, as I was waiting for the doctor. I open the bandage & took a few photo on my cut.

After I read the photo. SHITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT ! They are correct about the 1.5 inch cut, but they didn't tell me the cut is so deep & widely open. It shape like an EYE . It is about the same size of mine.

The treatment is quick & good. I am out of the hospital with 1hr & end up with 5 stings.





It is about time for me to explain why a head was flying toward my chin. As I mention before, the ball flew over my head. Both my stopper & a striker from otherside jump up for the ball. The striker happen to be bummed away. He lost balance when he land on the ground, so he try to use his legs to chase back his head. For the result, I stopped his head for him.

p.s. for the kids at home, if you haven't recieve an uppercut before. i suggest you not to look for it. it is dam painful.

Jeez Edman - sounds terrible. Hope all is ok now. Just think what damage your chin must have done to the other guy's head :-) And did a young, pretty nurse hold your hand and tell you you have beautiful eyes? She did!!! The bitch!

Take care and take the next few days easy.

PS Think we need a team of nurses on standby at SiHK games

Edman - bet you went down screaming "Not Yet Finished" after you took the knock.

Take it easy, hope you heal up well and we'll see you at the next game when you're ready.

Damn those kids really bullied you on Monday huh?


Just kidding mate, hope you heal up soon and feel better

In light of this, how appropriate is this headline from today's bbc.co.uk/sport website?

I was having a middle age nurse. The only thing she said is "take your shoes off & lie on the bed."

The doctor did mention something about my eyes before he switch on the surgical light. "CLOSE THEM"

for your information. both team end up playing 10 vs 10 after the injury. my team was winning 1:0 before i got ko, and 2:0 when the match finish.

So you finished the match when the match was not yet finished?



Get well soon, mate!

i didn't play after injury. as the offical need to finish some paper work before the ambulance can leave. i was sitting next to the ambulance & watch rest of the match. i leave with the ambulance when the match finish.

Did the referee give the other side a penalty and send you off for your chin-tackle?
