Andy's Whiplash and other bizarre WHU injuries

So Andy Carroll might be "slightly doubtful" for the trip to Middlesbrough having sustained whiplash scoring his epic goal against Palace. In terms of bizarre West Ham injuries it's up there with Enner Valencia injuring himself stepping on a broken tea cup a couple of seasons ago and getting crocked by crockery. Other strange WHU injuries have included: Steve Lomas injuring himself walking round Disneyland; Billy Bonds tripping over his slippers, and falling downstairs injuring his toe; Hayden Foxe injuring his finger by catching it in a bib and Christian Dailly going down with pleurisy. Not to mention Devonshire Flu and Trevor Morley's knife wound…

Didn't one of our players do his back by bending down to pat his dog? Was it Tommy Taylor?

Not sure if it was Taylor. Have been players injured by their dogs though. I think David Batty once slipped on puppy wee and hurt himself. Rio injured himself picking up the remote while at Leeds.
