Wenger tells Adebayor NOT to celebrate!

Well, that's only half the story, but yes, the usually uninvolved Arsene Wenger has decided to interfere in player affairs.
Adebayor's celebration this season has largely involved running towards the fans, sliding across the turf on his knees. However, Wenger has asked him not to celebrate in this way because of an incident that happened in 1997 with Patrick Vieira.
Vieira went for exactly the came celebration, but ended up injuring his knee, and spent 5 weeks out. At the time, Arsenal still had David Platt, Manu Petit, Ray Parlour and Gilles Grimandi to provide cover in central midfield, but if Adebayor got injured now, the team would be in serious trouble.
This also reminds me of another incident back in 2000 (or maybe it was 1999), where Thierry Henry ran towards the corner flag to celebrate - he pulled it back, and unfortunately was injured when it rebounded and hit him!
Do you know of any weird celebration related injuries? Let us know below!

And Van Persie vs Man Utd,got injured after celebrating!
Funnily enough, that one's a myth! Some people also said he injured himself in the process of scoring THAT goal.
Robin Van Persie was interviewed about it, and was asked, given the chance, would he have picked not getting injured and staying fit for the rest of the season (and not getting the goal), or scoring the goal and missing the rest of the season (as happened).
His response was that he had spoken to the physio and medical staff, and they told him that he had injured himself quite soon after coming on, and had already suffered the fracture before he scored the goal, so in his mind the choice was not there to make.
