Richard Carpenter: 34th Worst Challenge Ever!

[cheshunt seagull]

No 27: Jones on Stevens. I was on the terraces close to this one. Stevens was on the ground in a group of players, the play was effectively dead as the ball was in the middle of them. Then the monstrous Jones came charging in and down with his studs, it was horrendous and should be higher in the list. Totally pre-meditated.

2 Mario David, for Italy v Chile, June 1962 The Italian kicks Leonel Sánchez repeatedly, so the Chilean punches him in return. David responds with a karate kick to his opponent’s neck and is sent off by Ken Aston, the English referee, in the so-called Battle of Santiago at the World Cup finals in Chile.

sounds more like a boxing match

From the clips I have seen of that game it was. Featured on that 100 greatest world cup moments on C4 i think. Quite funny watching everyone flying kicking each other in the ass!

Whiteside on Ramsey cost us the Cup Final.

Also seem to recall Fashanu (when at Norwich) and Rollings having an almighty fracas at the Goldstone as well.

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!

Sounds like a prosser the tosser moment

I can't believe that Duncan Ferguson got a jail term while Roy Keane didn't. What was that about? He deserved to go down for the viscousness of that tackle. If it wasn't GBH, I don't know what is.
