Former England and Tottenham defender Gary Mabbutt said a rat ate part of his foot while he was asleep on holiday in South Africa.

The 57-year-old was forced to fly back to the UK for surgery and spent a week in hospital. Mabbutt, who has 16 caps for England, has type 1 diabetes and has little feeling in his feet.

The incident happened six weeks ago when he was visiting his daughter, who is working at the Kruger National Park. "I've gone to sleep and during the night a rat has come into the bedroom, climbed into the bed and has decided to chew on my foot," he said.

"It's made quite a big hole in my toe, going down to the bone, and ate underneath my foot. It bit my daughter's thumb first in the other bedroom, and then she came into me and said 'Dad, something's bitten me'. Being in Africa, you think of snakes and scorpions."

It still amazes me how one can sleep so deeply to the extent that a rodent will chew off part of your body without you waking up.

Modified: Didn't notice the diabetes part initially. Thank you all who felt the need to point that out, in whatever way you deemed it best!

If you know rat ate your toes/feet while sleeping in boarding school, let me see your hands up

Don't be bothered about all those big rats the smaller ones should give you more concern

Smaller rats are very dangerous infact the don't have restrictions

No wonder the lifeless one ran away from his office some months ago
