Fan sues Sunderland over ball in face injury

Niall Quinn said a Djibril Cisse shot knocked out the supporter
Sunderland are being sued by a fan who was injured while watching the team train, the chairman has revealed.

Niall Quinn was responding to a question during a BBC Radio Newcastle phone-in about whether fans were still allowed to watch training sessions.

He said that legal action was ongoing after the supporter was knocked out by a stray shot.

The Premier League club has declined to release further details about the incident.

Niall Quinn said: "We had a supporter who got a bad injury,

"I think it was one of Djibril Cisse's misses where he had a shot from 20 yards.

"I'm making fun of it now, but it knocked a supporter out. It was quite serious.

"That supporter is in the process of suing us right now."

Be careful Doug :-)

Maybe he suffered from concusion and had to miss work. Still not grounds to sue the club though, unless they had invited him to watch the session.

Tony Coton hit me in the head with a shot via Barthez's glove before the last Maine Road derby. Thought it was a terrible omen at the time.

A copy of the OP should go into Carl's Broken Britain thread.

Twunt goes to watch a training session, is lucky enough to get close enough to the players and then is not aware of a football coming towards his head.

Other fans "DUCK!"

Slow Twunt "Duuur wha.."

THWACK!

Slow Twunt " Well I didn't see that coming"
