Comedian Dave Hughes rushed to hospital with punctured lung after Legends game

Comedian Dave Hughes was rushed to hospital with multiple cracked ribs and a punctured lung after he was crunched during Thursday night’s Legends football match at Marvel Stadium.

Hughes, 54, was cleared of a lacerated spleen, after a series of body-jarring clashes during the charity game, which raised funds for prostate cancer research.

Hughes, however, still attended the post-match function, and it wasn’t until early Friday morning that Hughes’ wife, Holly, realised something was wrong.

She drove Hughes to hospital, where he was immediately treated. He remains in a “reasonably serious” condition.
