Just reading the blog about the greatest ever eels side got me thinking.
Who are the greatest injury prone players to ever lace up a boot?
I think Dugan would be high up on that list.
But to me, the Mr Glass Award has to go to Brett Papworth who played for the chooks. I think it was 3 knee recons in 3 years or something like that.
Can you guys remember any other guys made of glass past or present?

Brett Papworth also broke his jaw. I think he played like 3 games in 3 seasons. He should have stayed in Union.
His wife (a really nice woman) used to be my English teacher.
Loko would also have to be up there.
Yeah Loko is a good one.
Papworth Lol. That guy should've got a role in Unbreakable alongside Bruce Willis!
Good one. If I remember correctly he had serious shoulder problems.
Loko
Fark yeah forgot about him.
Seems the Eels have them all.
Yeah. Poor guy couldn't get a break. No pun intended.
I think I saw EVERY game he played at the Rooters with my mates. They collectively stood up nervously whenever Paps got up slowly from a tackle.
Hahaha.
I wonder how many minutes the Roosters got out of him?
Probably less than we got out of Mossop and they had him for 3 years.
Put it his way. He was probably the highest paid athlete on the planet if calculated on minutes played.
