Former England winger Andros Townsend joked that playing Stoke away "wasn't so bad after all" following a bizarre incident in Thailand in which he was run over by a pitch roller.
The 35-year-old former Tottenham, Luton and Crystal Palace forward plays for PT Prachuap in Thai League 1.
Townsend was warming up before a match at Pattani on Saturday when a member of staff appeared to lose control of a heavy pitch roller.
Townsend's left leg briefly got stuck under the vehicle, but he was unhurt. He came off the bench late on in a 3-0 win.
He wrote:
"It turns out Stoke away wasn't so bad after all. Swipe to see why."
