Thigh haematoma ('cork')

Cork thighs are common injuries in football but usually are not serious. Occasionally, bleeding in the thigh can be severe. For example, the current Sydney Swans coach Paul Roos suffered a cork thigh during his career that required surgery to stop bleeding from deep arteries in his thigh. He was forced to wear a thigh pad to protect this region for the last few years of his career.
