Next time you hear someone say that soccer players are pussies, tell them this story. Bundesliga (that's the German league) player Chavdar Yankow (of Hanover) took a cleat to the jimmie early in a recent match. The kick opened a nearly two inch gash in his penis which he noticed when his shorts filled with blood (gotta love the painkilling effects of adrenaline!). Yankow rushed to the lockerroom to address his, uh situation, and patched things up with some glue and plaster.

Yankow then finished the match and eventually scored a goal. Now that's a man.

I heard this story on the radio and got the link from 850 The Blog.
