Sam Ward: From horror eye injury to England’s biggest goalscoring threat at the Hockey World Cup

Great Britain forward Sam Ward almost lost sight in one eye when struck by a teammate's shot in the Olympic hockey qualifiers 18 months ago. His face has four plates and 31 screws holding it together.

GB forward Sam Ward: I needed this harsh reality check

Four metal plates and 31 screws are holding his face together but British hockey star Sam Ward has pledged to do all he can to make the Olympics. The forward had to undergo 
cheek reconstruction surgery after suffering facial fractures during the Olympic Qualifiers in November when he got hit by a ball travelling at about 80kmh. “I’m only just accepting it now how serious the surgery and everything was and how major it is,” he told. “To have someone basically peel your face off and have to put a lot of plates and screws in it. It’s pretty drastic.” Despite all his fears he was back on the field within four months scoring goals.
