Imagine this: You've gone down injured on the football pitch and you need attention from medical staff.

It happens thousands of times across the footballing world every weekend.

But the last thing you need is to see these two men rushing towards you...

Midfielder Leonardo Koutris was dropped - not once, but twice - by bungling stretcher bearers during a Greek league match between Larisa and Ergotelis last weekend.

Watch the hilarious episode unfold below.

4. Seconds later comes the first stumble...

 

5. ...as Leonardo is almost thrown across the grass...

 

6. The pair recover, and look to complete their mission...

 

7. But then they manage to fall over for a second time...

 

8. When they eventually reach the side of the pitch, Leonardo is unceremoniously dumped to the ground...
