It’s safe to say that Charlie George was a bonafide Arsenal legend. But he, too, was a victim of the... The Rise of the Machines. The man was from the old school of football players and wasn’t one to hire people to tend to his garden. But he may have reconsidered that decision when he lost his index finger.
“I lifted the mower up to clear some grass from the blades when it moved and chopped off my finger. I suppose I'm lucky that I didn't lose my hand.” – George

The 29-year-old saw the lighter side of it, though, and joked that he would not be able to take a throw-in and also paid no heed to those who said his career was over.
“I won't be able to take a throw-in. Or put two fingers up at people,” he joked.
