Approved by the King himself...!

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

You walked right into at one. Metaphorically speaking.

Jimmy Case Spinning round Ray Wilkins in the FA Cup Final, I think it was very early in the game, after the tackle Case bangs his boots on the grass as if to scrape off all things Wilkins

A Cullip special right in front of me at Mansfield.

Boom.

Martin Thomas with his head at Withdean. It remains a tragedy that neither this nor Charlie's Millennium Diary are on YouTube.

You’d like to hope our King didn’t get his inspiration from the man who declared he wanted to be ‘King Of The World’ at 5 years old?

Thats incredible - I like the way he just gets up and starts running around arguing with everyone with half the bone hanging out of his leg. Thats proper hard.

This is a totally random one, but years ago a Liverpool supporting friend of mine invited me up to Anfield to watch them against Chelski. The best tackle I’ve ever seen was Phil Babb’s tackle of the post. It was hilarious and unfortunate in equal measure.

This has the makings of a very good thread, Stat approves.

Although I'm somewhat dismayed at everyone else:-

I can remember being left in awe after witnessing a Mark Lawrenson tackle in his first match for us

 

[DumLum]

Dunk after Ryan saved Adams penalty against Stoke, goal saving.

First one that sprang to mind.
90th minute penalty drama. Adam looked certain to score the rebound.
Stoke would have gone level on points with us if they had won.... and they were relegated.
Legally it was a tackle as the ref didn't give them a second penalty.

Didn't he absolutely flatten Sanchez against Arsenal in the cup and yet win the ball? Or am I making that up? Someone did.
