- Former England winger Andros Townsend survived a “terrifying” incident after being run over by an out-of-control pitch roller while warming up at half-time for Thai League 1 side PT Prachuap.
- Townsend's left leg became trapped under the heavy machinery, but he managed to relieve the pressure using his left arm before teammates rushed in to help lift the roller off him.
- Speaking on Piers Morgan’s Football Uncensored, the former Tottenham and Crystal Palace player admitted he initially feared his career was over, worrying that his previously operated-on ankle or knee would snap under the weight.
- The footballer remarkably escaped without any serious injuries, suffering only minor bumps and bruises from the crushing incident.
- Despite his teammates' shock, Townsend insisted on completing his warm-up and subsequently came off the bench to feature in PT Prachuap's 3-0 victory over Pattani.
