Surgical Screws Win Prizes

The current trend of CttH acquiring much sought after and much desired Edinburgh Capitals memorabilia / merchandise is getting a bit out of hand now. So why is that you say? We've only gone and secured the 'low priced' rights ( it was free ) to display the bane of Doug Christiansen's 09/10 Elite Ice Hockey season. We've got our filthy hands on the X-ray of his knee AND we have the actual surgical pin used to hold his shaky bones in place, can you believe it?

The only thing that has shocked Check to the Head more than Doug's X-ray is the moment when Mohammed Ali Amar aka Nayim lobed David Seaman in the last minute of play from 50 yards plus during the 1995 UEFA cup final. He used to play for Spurs too - ironically




Anyway, back to Doug. Check it out with check to the head!
We're so hot right now (our own personal opinion).

















Doug's wonky knee in all it's post-surgical glory. He doesn't know we have this image, it is a mighty find for our grizzly blog but it isn't that shocking is it? You've seen worse right? Like that time that boxer guy a few years a go who got up out his seat and more or less immediately twisted and snapped his ankle. You know what one I'm on about yeah? Surely you also own a copy of Nick Hancock's Sporting Nightmares on VHS too right? If you do then THAT GUY! yeah that one!

So why were we so shocked at what we received? Once again I will let the wonderful media of coloured photography do the talking! It's also our favoured method of blog shock & awe!

So what are we going to do with this amazing and very, very Edinburgh Capitals sort of object? We though about offering it up as some sort of super, awesome prize that almost every fan would want to own but then we decided to just throw it away...
