Alice Woodyatt is a 24-year-old PE teacher from Bristol, England. She is also a lot tougher than you. And if, by chance, the 'you' reading this is her boyfriend – Exeter City winger David Wheeler – well, aim better, bro.Allow me to explain. On Saturday, prior to Exeter getting whipped 3-0 by League Two rival Northhampton Town, Wheeler skied a warmup kick past the away goal and into the stands. Happens all the time. What doesn't is the shanked ball blasting into the wrist of the guy's very own girlfriend, and fracturing a bone on impact.
Here's where "the tougher than you" part comes in: Alice Woodyatt sat there and watched the entire match before seeking medical attention. Apparently she brought her whole family and you gotta keep up appearances, but still: the entire match. As she told The Sun, "My wrist was swelling… A couple came up to me and asked me if I was OK but I played it down." Why, pray tell, did she play it down? "David has been playing well and I wanted to watch him no matter what."You know what? Add "better fan than you" to the list, too. Probably also "better significant other," too. I salute you, Alice Woodyatt.Hopefully Wheeler does, too. Apparently he had no idea this went down until after the match, at which point his girlfriend was close to being fitted for plaster on her left arm. If there is any sense of justice or reciprocity in this ordeal, he'll get on fitting her for a ring, too.Read More: FIFA Reform Commissioner Defends Blatter, Calls Soccer in U.S. "An Ethnic Sport For Girls In School"
