- Kieron Dyer ( Bristol rovers vs West Ham on August 18, 2002)
Dyer has never been a stranger to the treatment table, but easily the most serious injury of his career came in August 2002.
Fabled to have a leg of glass, the injury-prone Dyer, who had only joined the Hammers from Newcastle three weeks earlier, broke his right leg in two places following a nasty tackle from Rovers left-back Joe Jacobson.
The incident took place just 10 minutes into the Carling Cup second-round tie at the Memorial Stadium.
Some say that with the injury sustained in the game against Rovers, Dyer would have no option but to resign.
