Althoug the video clip does not show it, Malarchuk skated off the ice under his own power to a waiting ambulance. He was back in goal two weeks later.

An horrific injury to Coventry defender David Busst overshadowed Manchester United's march towards a third Championship in four years.

The Sky Blues injury jinx struck again in the most gruesome of circumstances after just 70 seconds.

Busst lay in agony, his blood staining the turf, after colliding with United's Denis Irwin as he-charged in to try to notch a shock goal. The massive 50,332 crowd - the biggest domestic attendance in nine years - was shocked into awful silence as Busst had his legs strapped together before being carried off.

He later endured three hours of surgery for a compound fracture to right leg.

Players from both teams were visibly horrified as they turned away from Busst's prone figure, inside the six-yard box.

Play was held up for nine minutes, partly to allow groundstaff and United keeper Peter Schmeichel to clean up a dark patch of blood in the goalmouth.

Its probably the one anyone person in the uk remebers cos it was horrendous, was reading on a site that Smicheal had to have counceling to deal with what he had seen.

None of these are as bad as my fracured skull playing cricket though.

McGahee's was pretty bad, but not near as bad as all the ones stated above. Tom Browning(Cincy Reds) nearly throwing his arm off was pretty sick as well.
