Ford film saved by Manchester United
Anyone else seen this?

By WENN world entertainment news - 2 hours 6 minutes ago

Actor Harrison Ford feared he would not complete an early installment of the Indiana Jones franchise - until he was saved by medics working for a football team.
(Advertisement)

The 65-year-old suffered a chronic back injury while riding an elephant in Sri Lanka during filming on Indiana Jones And The Temple Of Doom in 1984.

But Ford failed to recover from his injury and was forced to seek medical treatment after returning to the U.K.

And he was surprised when help was offered by Manchester United.

Ford says, "I couldn't find anyone to treat me in London, Harley Street doctors were afraid of the liability issues. I finally got the Manchester United team doctor to treat me.

"They had to strap me to a trolley with a bottle of nitrous oxide. I had to be carried feet first down the narrow, twisting stairs and was taken by ambulance to Manchester to see the doctor."

More good publicity for us. Manchester United is responsible for the success of Indiana Jones.

George Lucas owes us.

It will turn out that the Star Wars trilogy is actually about the Premier League, the FA and the "galaxy" of football.

Very cool story btw
