No one would have blamed St. Mirren WFC captain Jane O’Toole if she sat on the bench for the final 40 minutes of her team’s Scottish Cup match against Inverness after dislocating her kneecap in a nasty collision.
But O‘Toole didn’t just stay in the game—she did so after using a few open-palm strikes to put her kneecap back in place.
It sounds gruesome and it was.
O’Toole was clearly in excruciating pain, and yet she refused to come off the pitch even though her team was trailing 6–0.
Shockingly, a player repairing their own dislocated kneecap is not unheard of.
