Sport hurts. And if these clips are anything to go by ? it hurts a hell of a lot.

Even compiling this list of the worst sports injuries hurt ? so God knows what it must have been like for the people involved. Put it this way, broken legs are only the tip of the iceberg when compared to having your throat cut, being impaled by a javelin and having your eye gouged out. Seriously, they are all on this list.

It's enough to put you off playing sport for good. So if you have a weak stomach, please look away now.

13. Kickboxer breaks his leg



First rule of kickboxing ? don't kick anyone whose legs are stronger than yours. Ouch.

12. Djibril Cisse is given a crunching tackle



The Sunderland striker must have legs made out of wood. It would certainly explain why he can't hit a cow?s arse with a banjo and why his legs can't withstand tackles. This tackle was when he was playing for Liverpool. He broke it again not long after making his comeback while playing for France.

11. Matt?s life for Eduardo



Sky Sports refused to replay this tackle on Arsenal striker Eduardo in February 2008 by Birmingham?s Matt Taylor because it was so horrific.

10. David Busst gets Bussted up



Ask any football fan about former Coventry defender David Busst and they?ll wince. Yeah, he was that bad. But his name has also become synonymous with horrific sporting injuries. This injury, which occurred during a match against Manchester United in 1996, was so bad that United keeper Peter Schmeichel had to get counselling after the match and was seen vomiting on the pitch. It took stewards and match officials 10 minutes to clear up the blood and Busst never played again.



9. French long jumper gets the point



French long jumper Salim Sdiri was minding his own business at the Olympic Stadium in Rome in July 2007 when Finland?s Tero Pitkamaki stray javelin impaled him through his side.

Unbelievably, he was released from hospital the next day. Being hit by javelins is not as uncommon as you might think. Czech decathlete Roman Sebrle was hit in the shoulder earlier that same year. He was told by doctors that he was 20cm from death.

8. Joe Theisman?s big career break



This leg break in 1985 against the New York Giants ended Washington Redskins? quarterback Joe Theismann’s career. The injury was voted the NFL’s “Most Shocking Moment in History” by viewers in an ESPN poll, and the tackle was dubbed “The Hit That No One Who Saw It Can Ever Forget” by The Washington Post.

7. LA Clippers star Shaun Livingston has a lumpy landing



Is that really his knee? Damn!

6. Willis McGahee is stopped in his tracks



Running back Willis McGahee?s knee is decimated during the 2003 National Championship game between the Ohio State Buckeyes and the Miami Hurricanes Amazingly, he played again.

5. Ibok is given the elbow



Michigan State sophomore Idong Ibok fell awkwardly during the first half of the Spartans’ NCAA Tournament game against Marquette back in 2007 and soon realised he was not double jointed. We are sure he can laugh about it now.



4. Mike Tyson finds Evander Holyfield a bit tasty



Iron Mike decides to take a chunk out of heavyweight rival Evander Holyfield?s ear.



3. UFC fighter gets bad break



All we can say about this is ouch!!!

2. Allan Ray’s eye-catching injury



This horrific injury on Villanova guard Allan Ray during a 2006 Big East tournament against Pittsburgh at Madison Square Garden should only be viewed if you have a strong stomach.



1. Clint Malarchuk finds himself skating on very thin ice



We knew ice hockey was a brutal game, but this really does take the biscuit. Blues’ Steve Tuttle collided with Sabres goalie Malarchuk at the goal and his skate accidentally severed his throat. It looks like something out of a horror movie, but thankfully, he survived to tell the tale. He said: ?I thought I was dying then, I really did. I thought I didn’t have long to live. All I wanted to do was get off the ice. My mother was watching the game on TV, and I didn’t want her to see me die.? Chilling stuff.
