Andros Townsend, a former England international and player for Tottenham, narrowly escaped serious injury when he was run over by a pitch roller while warming up during a match in the Thai League 1 on September 20, 2026. The incident occurred at Rainbow Stadium as PT Prachuap prepared to face Pattani FC. Townsend, who is now 35 years old and plays for PT Prachuap after joining last year from Kanchanaburi Power, was struck by the roller while attempting an aerial backheel and fell into its path. Teammates were visibly shocked as he became trapped under the machine briefly but managed to free himself without sustaining any fractures or major injuries. Despite the scary nature of the event, Townsend later took to social media to make light of the situation, posting a video with the caption "Make it look like an accident" and describing how lucky he was not to suffer serious harm. He also mentioned that he had been surprised by the presence of two rollers on either side of the pitch during warm-ups but did not think anything of it at the time.
