THE LIST
YOU MUST BE KIDDING
Goalkeeper Lionel Letizi missed French soccer team Paris Saint-Germain's 1-0 loss to Rennes on Sunday after injuring himself Friday -- playing Scrabble. He hurt muscles in his back while picking up a letter that fell to the floor. The club declined to say which letter. Some other freak injuries that have put international soccer goalies out of action:
•*Spain's Santiago Canizares missed this year's World Cup after dropping a bottle of aftershave on his foot and damaging a tendon.
•*Arsenal goalkeeper David Seaman needed surgery after hurting himself stretching for the remote control while watching television.
•*Wigan's Dave Beasant missed matches after dropping a jar of mayonnaise on his toe.
•*Liverpool goalie Michael Stensgaard dislocated his shoulder in 1995 when he tried to catch an ironing board that had slipped from his grasp.
•*Rio Ferdinand missed a game last year after straining a foot tendon while watching television.
