Midfielder Loses Finger in Goal Celebration
BERN, Dec 6 2004 - A player in Switzerland's top division has been left without a finger after a goal celebration went horribly wrong. Servette midfielder Paulo Diogo was forced to have his left ring finger amputated on Sunday after catching it on a perimeter fence during his side's 4-1 win at Schafthausen. The 29-year-old Swiss-Portuguese player jumped up on the fence in celebration after setting up his team's third goal. Diogo, who got married recently failed to notice, however, that his wedding ring was caught in the metal barrier and severed the top two joints of the finger as he jumped back down. He was then shown a yellow card for his excessive celebration. Doctors at a Zurich hospital were unable to re-attach the finger joints and advised the amputation of the remaining stump. |
