FC CLACTON football manager David Coyle has admitted his life flashed before his eyes after being involved in a car crash.
The 32-year-old suffered a cut head, a broken finger and needs to have a metal plate inserted into his hand after the collision in Norwich.
He was driving his van around a bend and claimed a car, on the wrong side of the road, drove straight into him.
Mr Coyle, who also plays for Clacton Cricket Club and coaches youngsters at Norwich City FC's academy, has been told his right hand will never properly heal and there is a strong chance he will suffer with arthritis.
