Ex-Premier League star Andros Townsend has admitted he was extremely fortunate to escape unscathed after being run over by a pitch roller in Thailand. The former England international‚ who joined Thai Premier League outfit PT Prachuap during the summer transfer window‚ looked to have suffered a freak injury when a manned pitch roller ploughed into him as he warmed up at half-time against Pattani. Footage of the incident quickly went viral on social media‚ but Townsend later made light of the ordeal on his Instagram story‚ posting: 'It turns out Stoke away wasn't so bad after all. Swipe to see why.'
