Are they more common in the upper divs?

I'm really amazed that the guy who did it has a history of it and is still doing it.

It's a way to 'prove' yourself to the boys. Hard man stuff despite the cowardliness of the act. It's even better when you couldn't be bothered to see how the lad was doing, especially if it wasn't on purpose and was just going for the ball. It is really easy to break someone's leg if you really wanted to. Fortuntely, no one on our club has EVER done that in 23 years. If they did(on purpose) there were be major repercussions for the player.
