LITMANEN - THE UNLUCKIEST MAN IN FOOTBALL
Roy Hodgson thinks that Jari Litmanen must be the unluckiest man in football.
In four months the Finnish forward has not been able to make his Fulham debut after a series of freak injuries.
The latest accident happened in training last Monday when he was downed by a clearance booted from close range.
Fulham manager Hodgson said: “Litmanen is the most unlucky fellow I have come across in football.
“In training our Portuguese keeper (Ricardo Batista), who I must say is a very fearsome kicker of the ball, managed to smash it into the back of his head from about four yards away.
“It was like a missile that knocked him over. It's not a long term thing but it's knocked him for six this week.
“Jari has been very unlucky. When I first went to the Finnish FA he was standing next to his sporting director at Malmo and the guy opened as can of coke and the top popped into his eye.”
