- Andros Townsend, the former England and Tottenham forward, was run over by a pitch roller while warming up at half-time of a Thailand league match.
- Townsend avoided serious injury in the freak incident, with the report published on 20 Sep 2026.
Why it matters: A heavy groundskeeping machine striking a player during a routine half-time warm-up would normally be career-threatening, yet Townsend walked away without serious injury — a rare lucky break for the ex-Premier League veteran now plying his trade abroad.
