- The man was on holiday with his family when he collided with a teenager in a pool.
The incident was recorded by Graham's wife Joanne, 39, who were in Spain to celebrate their wedding anniversary with daughter Grave, 8.
Graham filed a personal injury claim against travel firm Jet2holidays after he had to spend his £1,800 worth holiday with his family in a neck brace.
Graham was taken to hospital and diagnosed with 'cervical neck concussion' following pain in his subscapularis, large muscle located under the shoulder-joint and the trapezius muscle, one of the major muscles used for moving, rotating and extending the head at the neck.
He still suffers with pain and stiffness despite having physiotherapy. "I saw something massive coming towards me and only realised later that it was a young lad and he literally landed with his backside on my head," Graham was quoted in Mirror.
"I heard a massive crunch and can honestly say I thought my neck had snapped. The impact had such force, I was rotated 360 degrees underwater," he added.
Adding to ordeal, Graham stated that though the hotel staff called for an ambulance, he paid for a separate taxi for his wife and daughter.
