Fuck me the boy likes a bit of surgery, nearly lost a leg in a brutal Machete attack then has his eyeball taken out during surgery :o
“They took my eye out and went in through my mouth and into my eye to get the titanium plate put in place,” Brook told ESPN.
I remember when Alan Shearer volleyed Ugo Ehiogue in the face and fractured his eye socket, to do the operation on him they cut the top of his head from ear to ear and pulled his face down below his nose in order to get in.
Left him with a good looking scar across the top of his bonce it did.
Never knew that, Shearer could really smack a ball.
Remember Gary Mabett being elbowed by Fashanu.

Just tried to find a video of it but this is all I can get hold of at the moment
Sports injuries are never for the squeamish, but even by the standards of habitual leg breaks, snapped ligaments, fractured cheekbones and sundry stitches, Aston Villa defender Ugo Ehiogu’s (left) eye injury is gruesome.
He needed two operations to save the sight in his eye after being caught in the face by Alan Shearer’s boot in a league match. He hasn’t started a game since January, but Villa boss John Gregory is thinking of including him against Manchester United to face old team-mate Dwight Yorke today.
Gregory revealed the details of the damage. "It was a very bad injury. Ugo had to have the skin on his head cut and rolled right back so the surgeon could get at the back of his eye and perform a delicate operation.
“Ugo is left with a scar from ear to ear. At the moment it is quite vivid and looks like he is wearing a pair of headphones. The specialist’s report is good and his eye is clearing. We thought he might need a third operation.”
