What actually was peter forsberg's injury?  Was it his ankle, foot or both?  I listened to a podcast with mike richards and he talks about foppa wearing 100 pairs of skates a season.  Was this always an issue for him or did it happen over time?

This was taken from an interview :

He was born with ankle bones larger than the usual person — basically they were too wide to fit comfortably into a skate — and he developed inflamed fluid-filled bursa sacs over time from the grinding of the bones against the skate.

It also states how they would continue to modify his skates based on how enlarged his ankle/foot became.
