Default Pic of the day

Football players who lost a leg during the disaster in Haiti.



First I did not know what to think of this, but then I had to laugh. I may not be PC, but I'm still grinning while typing this.

And why not. It would be wrong to make fun of them if they were suffering, but they're obviously having a great time, so why shouldn't we?

Well said If anything, this shows us that losing a leg isn't necessarily the end of a good life.

I find it rather odd that there was enough footballers who lost a leg during the earthquake, to field two teams. Unless the rest is made up of one legged footballers, but still odd.

Good for them though.

New meaning to Hand of god though.

They can play without crutches and they'd still beat me

Oh sorry that was Skybird not Skybird, an easy mistake to make.

You know, I bet they play better than our local club (Ipswich Town), perhaps some new signings are in order.

In all seriousness though, good on them, can't be an easy sport to play with one leg but they look like they're having fun, and that's what it's all about.
