I saw Sam Ermolenko's leg when he was in Brisbane racing at the Ekka it was before the meeting and he was wearing shorts. This was early 90's his thigh was the shape of a coke bottle on one side. No wonder they didn't think he would ever walk again. But Sam didn't just walk he went on to be World Champion. The guy never backed off his racing was legendary because he didn't know the meaning of settling for second.
