FantasticMrFuchs Posted 25 April 2016 Share Posted 25 April 2016 Almost as dead as a Dodoo: Leicester starlet heads towards helicopter tail rotor and has to be saved by stewards as Premier League leaders fly to PFA Awards The Leicester City squad were flown down to London for the PFA Awards Foxes had a tight turnaround for the bash after home win over Swansea Stepping out of the chopper Joe Dodoo almost walked into the propeller Only a quick-intervention from a steward prevented a nasty accident With Mahrez, Jamie Vardy and N'Golo Kante all nominated, the club wanted to make sure the players made it to Grosvenor House on time after their Sunday afternoon kick-off. The club paid for a fleet of five helicopters to fly the Foxes from their Belvoir Drive base to Battersea Heliport for quick hop to west London for the ceremony. That need for speed almost cost Dodoo, 20, as he bounded off the chopper ahead of the rest of his group. +11 Dodoo and his team-mates including award winner Riyah Mahrez landed at the Battersea Heliport +11 The winger stepped out of the aircraft and was clearly directed by the stewards standing by to be cautious +11 Dodoo hopped out the aircraft looking casual in a tracksuit and hat with the blades still spinning above him +11 Seemingly unaware of the stewards' instructions Dodoo took a wrong turn towards the rear of the aircraft Looking casual in a tracksuit and cap, the winger made a wrong turn and headed straight towards the deadly spinning blades at the rear of the aircraft. Seemingly unaware of the peril he was headed directly into, Dodoo got a lucky escape when a quick-thinking marshall ordered him to stop. The former England Under 18 international was just yards away from the blades spinning at hundreds of revolutions per minute and a horrific accident. +11 The steward quickly steps in as Dodoo heads towards the certain peril of the rapidly spinning blades +11 Riyad Mahrez could only watch on in horror as the incident unfolded in front of his eyes With Mahrez looking on shell-shocked from the helicopter door, Dodoo was unable to turn back and had to be directed around the back of the chopper away from the propeller. Another marshall came around from the other side of the aircraft and appeared to reprimand the youngster before escorting him to safety. A sheepish looking Dodoo headed for the safety of the terminal, no doubt grateful for the steward's intervention. From there night improved as Mahrez picked up the Player of the Year gong and Vardy collected a commemorative plate for breaking the league's consecutive goal record. +11 Another steward appeared from the other side of the chopper and had words with Dodoo +11 The player was then sheepishly escorted to the terminal by the pair no doubt grateful for their intervention http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-3557513/Leicester-City-starlet-Joe-Dodoo-dead-dodo-helicopter-propeller-near-miss-Foxes-fly-PFA-awards.html?ITO=1490&ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sublime_Coatsworth Posted 25 April 2016 Share Posted 25 April 2016 Fvck me that could've been horrific. Maybe the pilot didn't tell them or he wasn't listening but it should be a VERY simple instruction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stripeyfox Posted 25 April 2016 Share Posted 25 April 2016 Could have been a terrible accident. Hope he was not too shaken. There are many, many players over the years who would have been far more deserving of being mashed up in the tail rotor of a helicopter but I can't think of any from the current squad who deserve it.
