Ouch! Football player suffers split scrotum
LONDON—Chris Whelpdale, a winger with English fourth-tier side Gillingham, suffered a painful and unusual injury in the 2-1 Boxing Day win at Crawley when a tackle split open his scrotum.

The 22-year-old Whelpdale, who joined the club from Peterborough in July, has scored four goals in 22 games.
