Yeah, the other day I was scanning through some articles, wiki, etc., trying to figure out if he's just been unlucky with all of these injuries, or actually hadn't been properly taking care of himself, and I found that little gem on Wiki.
I don't remember it though. They also didn't mention the Chiello ankle crush on the wiki, at least I didn't see it while I was scanning, so that's why I'm wondering if there was anything else with RVP, any sort of chronic or degenerative issues.
I'm not quite convinced he's as big an injury risk as some suggest, although based on the time he's missed I understand why he has that label.
Edit: the link I posted was garbage, so I removed it. But yeah, BBC article
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/a/arsenal/6285363.stm says while celebrating, another link says he broke it trying to get around Neville and played through it (which makes a bit more sense).
