How did Sam Newman break his ankle - or did someone break it for him?

Question

I heard he did it when he was drunk & tried to throw the leg over one of the Magpie Monsters (Collingwood female cheer squad). Is that true?

Answer 1

It's probably given way from all the ankle tapping he did when he played for Geelong.

Answer 2

I  believe it was broken when he was drunk & got sat on by one of the Magpie Monsters!

Answer 3

no not true .. he was at the gym , and dropped his ego on his ankle.

Answer 4

It wasn't his big mouth broken, so we don't have to his bollocks?

d**n.

Answer 5

I must confess. I sat on his knee & his leg gave way!

Answer 6

yeah, i'll give ya that one, funny.

as stated supposed to weights, but who knows with sam, he's been run over, bashed by that big plumber, wonder why that guy ain't on gladiators.

Channel 9 are never going to tell us if there was something else that happened are they, he is a loose cannon, old sammy boy, anything could of happened, knowing him.

Answer 7

He broke it on purpose.

It was the only part of his body that he hadn't already replaced, improved, had plastic surgery.......

Answer 8

I heard that he broke his ankle when his wallet fell out of his pocket & landed on it!

Answer 9

I recall some time back when Sammy was discussing all the footy injuries that he had copped during his playing days.

He mentioned that his ankles were his weak spot due to years of ruck work. This is also why he is seen wearing sandals when doing "Street Talk" & sometimes when he is behind the desk.

So I guess that age has caught up with Sammy, and he is now victim to all the other nasty little ageing problems, such as calcium loss etc. etc.

Answer 10

just checked the cheer squad list and yes

you mum is on it

Answer 11

I BROKE IT FOR HIM

fricken sexist b*****d

Answer 12

Haha.. believable... but not true!

Apparently..

"Newman was lifting weights in his private gym yesterday morning when he rocked back on his left foot, breaking a bone, Channel 9 reported."

But I wouldve sooner thought I was from constantly putting his foot in his mouth...

Answer 13

Heard him speaking on Nova this morning.  He said he was cleaning up in his garage and picked up a weight and put it on the bench and it rolled off hitting his ankle.  Ironically, he said he had an appointment to have 2 pins removed from the same ankle which now has 3 in it.
