John Fashanu and Vinny Jones literally ended careers and did their best to cause skull fractures.

The Britos tackle on Knockaert at Watford away in our first PL season was on a par with today's effort.

I think the tackle on Knockaert knocks (see what I did there) the tackle on Mitoma out of the park. The Watford player did a long jump that Greg Rutherford would be proud of before two footing him.
