There is a short clip of Family Guy character Peter Griffin cautiously attempting to descend a flight of stairs before falling down them head first. Earlier this summer, a Newcastle United fan page tweeted it with the caption: 'Siem de Jong walking back into Newcastle's training ground for pre-season'. De Jong saw it and shared it with his 250k followers.
'Yeah, you sometimes have to treat it with black humour, I get it,' says the former Holland playmaker, who has revealed he was nearly blinded in a freak training-ground accident last year, and this after suffering two collapsed lungs.
