GORE BLIMEY, GIVE UP!

Dramatic moment ‘world’s worst matador’ is gored ONCE AGAIN in latest calamitous bullfight

Matador Andres Roca Rey, 19, from Peru, is no stranger to getting horribly injured in the ring

A BULLFIGHTER who was gored five times in his first five fights has once again come a cropper after being stabbed in the groin.

Matador Andres Roca Rey is lucky to be alive after the raging blood-covered beast smashed its horns into the 20-year-old Peruvian's thigh during the San Fermin festival in Pamplona in Spain.

, the bull’s horn left a 4-inch hole in Rey’s left inner thigh.

After its horn entered the bullfighter’s crotch, the bull bucked its head upward as it tried to free itself.

As a result, Rey flew into the air and his rectus muscle was cut.

Last year, while he was bullfighting in Seville, a bull gored the persistent matador’s buttocks.

He was famously gored five times in his first five fights and has become a viral video sensation - but amazingly refuses to give up the controversial sport.

One watcher said: “He has to be wondering if he’s chosen the right line of work.”

Rey's catalogue of injuries includes being battered unconscious and suffering amnesia, being gored in the buttock and groin, having two teeth knocked out when a bull stabbed him in the mouth, concussion and a shattered right cheek bone.

Unsurprisingly, the bullfighter will not be able to appear for his second fight at the fair scheduled for tomorrow.

Last month a Spanish bullfighter died after he tripped on his cloak and was then fatally gored in the side when he fell to the ground — with horrified spectators hearing him scream: “Hurry up, I’m dying”.

Ivan Fandino, 36, was killed during a bull-running festival in Aire-sur-l’Adour in the southwest of France.
