Alex McIlveen was one of the good samaritans that confronted the two attackers during the 2007 Glasgow Airport attack. He famously kicked one of the terrorists so hard in the groin that he tore a tendon in his own foot

The most Scottish of heroes. A good kick in the balls never hurt anyone.

And then there was John Smeaton, a baggage handler on a cig break, who attacked one of the terrorists who was on fire and had run into the terminal building.

I’d like to think if a man kicks a flaming terrorist in the balls so hard he injures himself that man will never have to buy a beer again while he’s out.

How have I not heard of this?
Just to clarify: did Alex tear his tendon while he kicked the terrorist or did the terrorist’s tendon also snap additionally to his balls?
Billy Connolly has a funny bit about that incident. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7gMJBQoHJ4E](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7gMJBQoHJ4E)
