Goalkeeper Plays Full Football Match With Bullet Inside His Head.

Goalkeepers are used to having shots fired at them during games, but
not usually from firearms.
Amateur keeper Duško Krtalica was playing in a tournament in the
Sarajevo suburb of Boljakov Potok recently when he complained of a
headache. The shot stopper assumed it was the result of striking his
noggin on a post while making a save, so ignored the pain and carried
on playing.
According to Sarajevo newspaper Dnevni Avaz, the 51-year-old completed
the match, but soon complained of a stiff arm and had difficulty
speaking. He was driven to a local hospital, where doctors were
shocked to see that a 9mm bullet was clearly lodged in his skull.
Krtalica was immediately transferred to the department of neurosurgery
and the bullet was removed. A hospital spokesman said the operation
was a success and he is now in a stable condition.

This bizarre story raises so many questions. How could someone not
notice a bullet entering their skull? How could that person feel well
enough to play 90 minutes of football with such an injury? And who
would shoot a 51-year-old man in an amateur tournament?
Only the latter question has an answer, after local police combed the
area to discover that there were three weddings in Boljakov Potok that
day. During at least one of those weddings, someone thought it would
be a good idea to celebrate by firing off their handgun, and one of
the stray bullets managed to find its way from the ether into the
unfortunate keeper's cranium.
According to Dnevni Avaz, a 42-year-old local named Seyne Ligata was
subsequently arrested and his pistol was seized. A further 12 shells
were found near the football field, suggesting it was very lucky that
no one else was injured.
For the record, Krtalica only conceded one goal while playing with a
bullet in his head. Thankfully, Jose Mourinho is no longer working
with Iker Casillas in Madrid, or this story may have given him some
ideas…
