A Dublin League of Ireland legend who waited nearly four hours on the pitch for an ambulance after his leg broke in five places yesterday fumed: “This country is a disgrace.”
David Scully, 37, who had successful spells with Bohemian FC, Finn Harps and Bray Wanderers, was left in agony by the “freak accident”. And after he reached hospital he spent the night in a corridor as he waited for an operation on the injured leg.
David, who was playing as centre-half for Dublin club Montpelier FC fainted a number of times while waiting on the ambulance before he was brought to Tallaght Hospital on Sunday night. He had been involved in a league game against Greenhills Greenpark FC in south Dublin when he suffered the horrific injury. The match was abandoned in the 65th minute following the incident.
