Danny Welbeck: a danger to hernias everywhere (Picture: Getty)

Supporting Arsenal is undoubtedly a health risk, but this takes things to the next level.

Danny Welbeck’s last-minute winner against Leicester sent the red half of north London into a state of delirium on Sunday, with one Gooner even breaking a wall in celebration.

But one fan took things even further by celebrating the goal so hard that he was admitted to hospital with a hernia, and even required surgery.

Scott Woods uploaded the picture after the incident, although the smile on his face suggests it was a price worth paying for Welbeck’s winner.

‘I was jumping around with my dad and hugging my dad. Felt under the weather on Monday and then had to go to hospital in the middle of the night last night,’ he told Metro.co.uk.

‘It was bedlam.’

Given that Welbeck’s goal only moved Arsenal up to second, we hate to think what could happen if the Gunners win the title…


‘After this I think I’m going to be taking it a bit easier for a while,’ Scott said when asked how he’d cope with Arsenal winning the league.

‘But in reality it’ll be something similar I’d imagine. Not sure the hernia was worth the 15 minutes of fame.

‘If Arsenal win the league it will be!’

Great commitment.
