Robin Van Persie says he's been playing in pain for the past 6 years.

Wow! That's a startling revelation. And I so feel for him. Manchester United striker, Robin Van Persie during a press conference on Sunday ahead of the 2014 World Cup revealed that he has been nursing a pain in his groin for the last six years.

"I've been playing in pain for the last five or six years; every single game. I can't really think of one game where I didn't have a niggle or pain somewhere. I'm used to that. I know, together with the team and with the medical staff, how to deal with that. I'm the one who looks at that and manages that. You can't really even call it an injury". He told newsmen.
