A rugby player has been left with a life changing infection after being stamped on with boot studs covered in dog faeces.
Darryl Adams, 50, said he has never properly recovered after he was struck with a sporting injury 17 years ago.
The HGV driver, from Wales, was hospitalised in 2005 after his shin was stamped on with rugby boot studs covered in dog mess left on the pitch in Blaenau Gwent.
