8) Alan Smith (Manchester United)
John Arne Riise, known for having a really powerful pelt, lined up for a free kick. Alan Smith bravely ran forward, launching himself in the way of the fierce thunderbolt, but paid the price as he suffered two separate injuries. The first was a break to the leg and the second was a dislocated ankle. Despite the distress he was in, play continued for a little longer before teammates Edwin Van der Sar and Gary Neville rushed over.
