Richard Carpenter: 34th Worst Challenge Ever!

[Scarface]

In The Times today.

34. Richard Carpenter, for Cardiff City v Reading, December 1999

Chris Casper, a former colleague of David Beckham in the Manchester United youth team, suffers a broken fibula and tibia, as well as knee and ankle ligament damage, in a challenge by Carpenter. He has not played again. After a legal battle he agrees to accept compensation of £1 million.

 

[Hiney]

Casper will be back to haunt him

That Schmeichels challenge has to be the worst ever.

I believe he wasn't even carded for it!

 

[JJ McClure]

Worst has to be Schumacher the German 'keeper and his assualt of the French forward.

 

[The Large One]

That's what playing for Cardiff does for you...

 

[sully]

Worst has to be Schumacher the German 'keeper and his assualt of the French forward.

Indeed, that got the number 1 spot.

 

[The Large One]

The best was the entire Cameroon team's assualt on Cannigia.

I believe he wasn't even carded for it!

1. Harold Schumacher, for West Germany v France, July 1982

As Patrick Battiston runs clear in the World Cup semi-final he meets the on-rushing Germany keeper, whose forearm smash leaves him unconcious and with broken teeth (Schumacer offers to pay to have them capped). France are not even awarded a free kick.

Good guesses everyone!

 

[sully]

The best was the entire Cameroon team's assualt on Cannigia.

Which incredibly was only number 9.

 

[Biscuit]

I said Schmeichels, when I BLATANTLY meant Schumacher.

 

[Marc]

what about Cantonas on the Palace fan...does that count?

 

[Scarface]

The best was the entire Cameroon team's assualt on Cannigia.

Benjamin Massing apparently, came in at number 9!

He broke three vertebrae.

Did they have two sent off in that game then?

Kana Biyik was sent off, his brother, Oman, scored the only goal of the game.

 

[The Large One]

Which incredibly was only number 9.

Yeah, but it was best for comedy value.

 

[Del Boy]

NO, it was palarse... :smile2:

Yeah, but it was best for comedy value.

Hurdled the first challenge, just keeps his footing after the second then Massing sends him flying towards the stands!

At number 11, Andoni Goicoechea earns a 16 match ban for breaking Maradona's ankle and damaging ligaments! Shouldnt he have been knighted or something?!
