Schoolboy sued Adidas over match injury

A soccer player sued Adidas claiming the blades on Predator Plus boots left him with visible scars on his head after he was kicked during an U-14 game.

His legal team argued in the High Court in Cork the studs on the boots, known as blades, were sharper than regular studs and the boots were a “defective product”. The case dates back 10 years.

Gary Dennehy, of 53 Woodlawn Road, Togher, Cork, is 25 now. He was injured while playing an underage match for his team Casement Celtic against College Corinthians.
