Dabizas Car Crash
After helping Greece go top of their EURO 2004 qualifying group with a 1-0 win at home to the Ukraine, Nikos Dabizas was involved in a car crash just hours later. In the early hours of the morning Dabizas smashed his car into traffic lights and luckily got out of the car before it caught fire! Dabizas we understand escaped with just a broken arm which is now in a cast and some cuts to his face. All Toon fans wish Dabizas all the best and hope he makes a speedy and full recovery.
