Geoff Huish, 26, was so convinced England would win Saturday's match he told fellow drinkers at a social club, "If Wales win I'll cut my balls off," the paper said.

Friends at the club in Caerphilly, south Wales, thought he was joking.

But after the game Huish went home, severed his testicles with a knife, and walked 200 metres back to the bar with the testicles to show the shocked drinkers what he had done.

Huish was taken to hospital where he remained in a seriously ill condition, the paper said. Police told the paper he had a history of mental problems.

Wales's 11-9 victory over England at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff was their first home win in 12 years.

 

 

Darwinism in action.

 

I was just going to say - I smell a Darwin Award Nomination!

 

It almost sounds like one of those bad jokes....

 

Well, I'll bet he won't have the balls to do that again.

 

 

Refreshing to see someone who keeps their word.

 

I knew some gene pools were shallow, but this is the first I have heard of one completely dried up.

 

He must have harbored some deep, inner desire to do such a thing or he wouldn't have even brought it up. I mean, he didn't say he'd kill himself, or that he'd eat lemon pie, he said he'd cut his boys off, and just the mere fact that he said such a thing proves it wasn't that big 'a deal for him.

Strange.
