The Libba,Knights episode has got me started on this subject.
Does anybody know if this has happened or later died as a result of the injury??

I know there was a player in Neil(forgot his last name think Sache)who played for Footscray who ended up in a wheelchair.

I don't know of any in the VFL/AFL, but a South Wimmera FL grand final in the 1930s, between Rupanyup and Marnoo, was called off mid-game due to a fatality on the field. The game was not replayed.

don't know about football, but according to the book "Cricket's Hall of Shame" a cricketer was killed when a number came loose from the scoreboard and went through his neck.

Don't know if its trued but i found that quite ammusing.

I know thing i found rather funny was this little exert:

"In a F/C match in England in the early 1900's a batsmen was giving out lbw - to a ball that broke his jaw."

in an indian match (aussie equivilent to district cricket) a year or two ago
a bowler appealed for an lbw, it was given not out, but the batsman wasnt happy so he walked down the pitch, smacked the bowler in the head with his bat and killed him

Charming!
 
I reckon most of St Kilda died on the ground back in the '97 Grand Final before the match ever finished!
