10 of the most injury-prone footballers in the world

4. Ledley King

On his day, King was up there as one of the best defenders to ever play for England and in the Premier League. Unfortunately though, a chronic knee condition restricted the amount of football King could play and he often had to train alone in order to stay in shape.

Injuries appeared to start getting the better of him in his 20s and in 2012 he retired from the game at 31. England and Tottenham fans were denied a truly great defender. Who knows what might’ve happened if King had stayed fit during his career?
