For being so nimble with his hands in the net, it’s shocking Santiago Canizares could be so slippery-fingered in the bathroom. In 2002, the goaltender for the Spanish national football team dropped a bottle of aftershave while freshening up, shattering the container and sending a shard of glass deep into his right foot. At least he presumably smelled fresh as doctors operated on the severed tendon. Canizares, Spain’s first-string goalie, was forced to miss the entire World Cup that year.
