Rugby Fan Reportedly Takes Things Too Far After Win

Wales Supporter Keeps Word, Allegedly Severs Testicles After Upset

LONDON (Feb. 7) - A Welsh rugby fan cut off his own testicles to celebrate Wales beating England at rugby, the Daily Mirror reported on Tuesday.

Geoff Huish, 26, was so convinced England would win Saturday's match he told fellow drinkers at a social club, "If Wales wins, I'll cut my balls off," the paper said.

Friends at the club in Caerphilly, south Wales, thought he was joking.

But after the game Huish went home, severed his testicles with a knife, and walked 200 meters back to the bar with the testicles to show the shocked drinkers what he had done.

Huish was taken to hospital where he remained in a seriously ill condition, the paper said. Police told the paper he had a history of mental problems.

Wales' 11-9 victory over England at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff was its first home win in 12 years.

This guy is awesome.

I routinely chirp at people who make bets and don't follow through on them when they are called out. This guy is a role-model to all.

Truly a man of his word. That's very rare nowadays.
