In the 1956 FA Cup Final, Man City keeper Bert Trautmann played the last 17 minutes with a broken neck. 🤯
No subs were allowed, so he powered through agony to preserve a 3-1 win. An X-ray later revealed 5 dislocated vertebrae.
WHAT COULD HAPPEN NEXT?
The independent commission has broad powers to penalize:
• Massive fines
• Huge points deductions (e.g. -40 to -60 pts)
• Relegation / Expulsion from the PL
• Retrospective title stripping (unlikely)
Appeals mean this legal saga continues! ⚽
