Sports celebrations gone wrong

James Faulkner perfectly recreated some 12th Man gold when he celebrated a wicket by throwing a stray high five that copped wicket-keeper Brad Haddin in the eye. Haddin was forced to leave the field for treatment and couldn't finish the match.

When Scotland upset the Wallabies on their home turf in 2012, Greg Laidlaw was mobbed by teammates after landing the match-winning penalty. But Joe Ansbro and Alasdair Strokosch were a little over-exuberant and ended up headbutting each other accidentally.

Swiss footballer Paolo Diogo will go down in history as the man who severed his finger after celebrating a goal. Diogo jumped up on the perimeter fence, got his wedding ring caught on the fence and ended up tearing off a chunk of his finger. In the ultimate case of insult being added to injury, he was given a yellow card for excessive time wasting.

When Angels slugger Kendrys Morales crushed a game-winning home run, his teammates rushed to greet him at home plate for a customary walk-off celebration. Moralys jumped in the air and came down awkwardly on the plate, rupturing his ACL. He's never been the same player since.

The backflip celebration is virtually par for the course in football these days, but the likes of Babayaro and Lua Lua have suffered for their art, with both sustaining serious injuries when they tried one backflip too many.

Richmond captain Wayne Campbell once got so carried away in celebrating a Justin Blumfield goal against Geelong that he ended up rupturing his Achilles tendon and missed the rest of the season.

V8 Supercars driver Will Davison celebrated a win in 2013 with the traditional burnout. But it wasn’t long before he was made to regret his decision, as he smashed into the wall.

Detroit Lions linebacker Stephen Tulloch tore his ACL against the Green Bay Packers. Not during a massive collision or an awkward fall, he tore his ACL whilst celebrating sacking Packer quarterback Aaron Rogers.

When Real Madrid won the Copa Del Ray in 2013, they boarded an open-top bus that would take them to the centre of their home city. Sergio Ramos took hold of the trophy and held it high above his head, but it slipped out of his hands and fell straight under the moving bus.

And then there's this. Can someone please explain why Nicole Scherzinger couldn't wait until boyfriend Lewis hamilton took his helmet off before celebrating his Formula One world title?
