Rugby fan cuts off his testicles

A WELSH rugby fan cut off his own testicles to celebrate Wales beating England at rugby. Geoff Huish, 26, was so convinced England would win Saturday’s match he told fellow drinkers at Leigh Social Club: “If Wales win, I’ll cut my balls off.”

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

But after the game Mr 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.

Police said he had a history of mental problems.

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

The man was rushed to hospital after the incident.

A local said the man was on medication and should not have been drinking.

A Gwent Police spokeswoman said yesterday: “We received a call from the ambulance service at approximately 9pm on the 5th to inform us of a situation at the Leigh Social Club in which a man had indeed severed his own testicles.”

She said the man was taken to Heath Hospital but could not confirm his condition.
