This particular extract is difficult to read:

"The magic of the FA Cup was bloodied on the day my penis was cut and then stitched shut on an unromantic afternoon in Bournemouth last year."

OK, that's enough information, Stevie, thanks.

Oh no, wait. It doesn't end there.

"It was eye-watering. I tried to close down a winger to block his cross but felt a stinging in my privates. I thought, 'Shit — that doesn't feel right!' It was stinging like fuck."

Cool. Well that's enough about that then, Steven.

Nope, nope. It doesn't even end there...

"The gash looked pretty bad, right across the middle. There was plenty of blood. I needed four stitches and the lads were absolutely pissing themselves."

Great. Well that's us never playing sport ever again, then...
