There's Phillies pitcher Brett Myers, who in 2009 said he injured his eye playing catch with his son but later confessed that he hurt it exiting his wife's SUV after a few beers.
Five other young uncapped players that catch the eye as the first signs of Hoddle's post-World Cup intentions are: Norwich winger Darren Eadie, Ipswich duo Richard Wright and Kieron Dyer, Newcastle signing Carl Serrant and Sheffield United's Wayne Quinn.
