James Harrigan, a diehard Blue Nose, was injured in action (well he got on the pitch) in last Thursday's game. 

Having arrived late as usual, without apology as usual, Blues was consigned to the bench for the initial minutes of the first half.

Midway through the first half he leapt off the bench into the action.

After 30 seconds of action, as he tried to make a scoring opportunity on the edge of their box, he suffered a blow which literally came as a slap in the face. A Horse defender struck a great bitch slap into the Blues hooter, and Blues fell to the ground in true Rocky slow motion.

Alarmed by this turn of events, some of his team mates instantly appealed for a penalty due to a Horse defender shepherding the ball back to the goalie whilst in the area. Darth Dave the Ref Overlord waived away the appeals.

Meanwhile, Blues dripped away outside the area, holding his schnozzer. Instantly panicking about his looks, he asked for a verdict on his nose, to which the reply "Definitely Broken" was given. The Match was over for the Blue Nose turned Red Nose., a professional career as a Circus Clown beckoned.

UPDATE:

Doctors have advised James to go back in 3 weeks once the swelling has gone down. They hope not to have to rebuild his nose but have offered to rebuild the rest of his body.

They have also told him that with his new Super-hooter he sholud get more of a sniff of goal than he normally gets. They say he should be back by Septum-ber.
