What Kind of Injury is a 'Dead Leg' Anyway ?
I must just find out just what kind of injury a 'dead leg' is. After all, The Republic of Ireland's Kevin Kilbane is looking doubtful for Wednesday's game against Switzerland with this terrible affliction and Michael Owen didn't manage to play for Newcastle 10 days ago because he - too - was suffering from a dead leg. Indeed, in Owen's case he only trained for a couple of days before the England v Austria game.
Um...this football type of 'dead leg' must be very different from the kinds of dead legs kids used to give each other in Primary School. Because I got a few of those and twenty minutes later I was fine. Unless of course - and I know this must be extremely unlikely as nobody could ever accuse ultra professional, hard-working footballers of being pampered whining hypocondriacs - these are actually one and the same 'injury'.
In which case footballers are pampered whining hypocondriacs. Shocking. But you heard it here first.
