THIS KO'd footballer saw stars — then saw RED as he was sent off for DIVING while stricken on a stretcher
The incredible incident happened in a Belgian amateur match when Julien Lecomte clashed with a defender.
He was left sprawling on the floor but the referee was not convinced.
Despite receiving treatment from staff and being taken off the field by medics, the ref showed him a second yellow card because he believed Lecomte was CHEATING.
His team-mates were fuming over the decision and confronted the official who had to be protected by his assistants and staff.
When Lecomte came around, he was taken to hospital where docs confirmed he had suffered concussion and three displaced vertebrae in his back.
