YouTuber and Man Utd ‘superfan’ Speed rushed to hospital after getting hurt in famous Gloucestershire Cheese Rolling
YOUTUBER and Manchester United “superfan” Speed has been rushed to hospital after getting hurt in the Gloucestershire Cheese Rolling.
iShowSpeed said he “needed to go to hospital” after tripping over and rolling down a hill at the event near Tewkesbury.
He landed hard on his back and reportedly injured his leg – but still claimed he could have got his hands on the 3kg Gloucester Cheese.
Speed, 19, told the BBC: “You see that blood right there? I have a lumbar infarction.”
He added: “It bruises and swells up. So I have to go to the hospital after.”
But the YouTube star said the cheese rolling was worth it despite his injuries.
Speed said: “Hell yeah! It looks scary but once that first slide is done, you’re like, ‘You know what, I can do this’.
“I want to do it again because I know how to win now. I won fourth place my first time with no technique, with no videos.”
It comes after Speed was a special guest at Manchester United’s after party following the team’s FA Cup triumph.
Speed, who has 16.5 million followers on Instagram, brought his own flair to the party.
He was seen doing a handshake celebration with Alejandro Garnacho before hitting Cristiano Ronaldo‘s signature “Sui” celebration.
Speed then performed an overhead kick – perhaps to recreate Garnacho’s Goal of the Season against Everton.
He also grabbed snaps with Kobbie Mainoo, Marcus Rashford, Erik Ten Hag, Andre Onana, Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Sofyan Amrabat.
Speed had Onana in stitches as he showed him an edited photo of his face on top of a photo of the goalkeeper.
The pair joked Speed was a better goalkeeper than 28-year-old Onana.
