Footballer Andros Townsend hit by pitch roller in Thai league

Former England and Tottenham Hotspur forward Andros Townsend was nearly run over by a motorised pitch roller while warming up with his Prachuap teammates at half-time during a Thai League 1 football match on Saturday (Sep 19). Townsend got back up and continued practicing, before coming on as a late substitute as Prachuap cruised to a 3-0 victory. The 35-year-old later poked fun at the close call on Instagram, writing: “Big Food: ‘Make it look like an accident.’” #football Subscribe to our channel here: https://cna.asia/youtubesub Visit our website: https://cna.asia Download our app: https://cna.asia/app Get our editors' picks of stories via chat apps: Telegram: https://cna.asia/telegram WhatsApp: https://cna.asia/whatsapp Follow us on these platforms: https://www.facebook.com/channelnewsasia https://www.instagram.com/channelnewsasia https://www.tiktok.com/@channelnewsasia
