With so many knee injuries happening around us, I thought I'd share this with you guys..
That is what the inside of the knee looks like. I damaged my lateral collateral ligaments (really hope I havent snapped them!), Paul Scholes damaged his Medial Collateral Ligaments, and the worst one is the Anterior Cruciate Ligaments (ACL). Once that is gone I'm sorry guys it's time to look for a new sport..
The worst part about ligaments is that they are constantly wearing out. And footballers like us are more prone to damaging them cos we twist n turn n volley n jump so much. So thats why proper warm up is so important. Loosening up the muscles, stretching them and also not putting too much weight is so important to the knee.
So the next time there is a game at 5pm and you choose to come at 455pm, wear your boots and straight away play the match, please think twice. Your knee ligaments are being stretched to the very limit and if one unfortunate day they snap, then you got the rest of your life to regret..
