Liam Payne is known for probably being the most sporty and athletic member of One Direction with his surfing and football (soccer) skills and his general love for sports. He's also known for the time he spends in the gym and staying in shape, especially while he's on tour. But it turns out there's one thing Liam isn't so good at...skateboarding.
While speaking to Top of the Pops magazine in the UK this week, he revealed a rather nasty skateboarding injury he got when he was 16.

"Skateboarding! I was 16 and I decided to try out the biggest ramp at the skate park, which really was the stupidest thing ever," Liam replied when asked if there's any sports he couldn't do.
"I thought I’d be fine if I hurt myself, as I didn't have any gigs coming up. I went down the ramp, the skateboard flipped up and my head hit the floor," he continued. "I got a massive graze and bruised my face, and when I got home my dad told me I had two gigs lined up – I had to perform them looking like that!"
Oh Liam, we're sure you still looked good and delivered a great show, as always, like the professional you are!
What are your thoughts on this? Have you ever got a injury from playing sports?
