CAERPHILLY, Wales, Feb. 8 (UPI) -- An emasculated Welsh rugby fan was recovering Tuesday from keeping his promise to castrate himself if his team lost, The Mirror reported.

Geoff Huis, 26, was in serious condition after the Saturday stunt that horrified his friends at a social club in Caerphilly. As they watched the telecast of England playing Wales in Cardiff, Huis reportedly said in common terms he was so sure England would win he would lop off his testicles if the team failed.

However, a last-minute goal gave Wales an 11-9 victory.

Huis then walked a short distance to his home, and returned wearing a kilt with his bloodied scrotum in a plastic bag to show his friends, the newspaper said.

Doctors said he lost a massive amount of blood and will likely require a prosthetic scrotum.

Family members said they were simply glad he survived.

"Geoff's had his problems in the past but has been on medication," the family member said.
