After Villa's third goal had been scored Dyer exchanged words with Bowyer, who took exception and rather than explain his grievances to his team mate, let his fists speak the words his mouth could not pronounce.
Dyer and Bowyer later apologised for their action, however, interestingly they pointedly refused to apologise to each other and were not team mates for much longer. Cameroon have three bites of the Claudion Caniggia shaped cherry, as the Argentine speeds down the right wing in a match between the two sides.
The first two tackles are skillfully avoided by a combination of speed skill and bad tackling. The third contrary to his name, Massing doesn't miss, although he probably, in hindsight, would of wished that he had as he is unceremoniously sent off for his troubles.
Probably the best example of the horrendous tackle from recent years, as well as being the tackle that quite probably prematurely ended Eduardo's Arsenal career. In the third minute of newly promoted Birmingham's home match against Arsenal, Taylor went in high and late on Arsenal striker Eduardo. Eduardo received a compound fracture to his left fibula and an open dislocation of his left ankle. Broadcaster Sky, who were showing the game at the time, took the decision to not show the replay of the incident, deeming it to be too shocking for their audience.
Ben Thatcher's career was blighted by incidents such as this, to the extent that, ultimately, he was probably known more for being a thug than a footballer. His elbow into the face of Portsmouth midfielder Pedro Mendes, was the incident from which Thatcher garnered most infamy. Whilst running the ball out for a throw in to Man City, Thatcher visibly raises his elbow, striking Mendes in the face. Mendes is knocked out cold, falling into the advertising hoardings and Thatcher becomes an instantaneous social pariah.
Mendes required oxygen at the pitchside and suffered a seizure whilst being transferred to hospital, but was released from hospital the next day albeit under medical supervision. Thatcher, for his sins, was given a 6 match ban, 2 of them suspended and a fine amounting to 6 week's wages. During Leeds' ill fated European adventure in , Bowyer's stamp on the head of Malaga defender Gerado stole most of the headlines. Bowyer was subsequently banned from European competition for six games following the premeditated attack, but following his subsequent transfer to Newcastle United, an administration mix-up in the club meant that this ban was extended to 12 games.
It was the precursor of things to come as Leeds' financial implosion was just around the corner as the club's life of excess came back to bite them, slipping unchecked down the football pyramid and away from the European life they had once called their own.
Ironic is how I would best describe this tackle. Gazza, a player with the footballing world at his feet, lunged in horrifically on Forest player Gary Charles, far too high and with his studs up. Yet, and here's the irony, it was Gazza that came off worse, rupturing his cruciate ligaments, an injury many say curtailed his previously burgeoning ability with the spherical ball.
You'd think Gazza had a penchant for masterminding his own downfall After Morais chops down the Brazilian twice in quick succesion, without any tangible action taken the Brazilian limps out of the tournament, bruised by the encounter and vowing he will never play in the World Cup again. Luckily for Brazil he did, returning four years later to become the figurehead of the team, regarded by many as the greatest football team that the world has ever seen.
The Irishman, initially feared for his career, but the injury was more superficial than first feared and two months later Irwin was able to play again.
As if to add insult to injury Bosvelt later moved to England, to Manchester, to play for United's city rivals. It's almost as if you would think he didn't like Manchester United This is quite honestly the worst injury i have ever seen from football.
I have been brought up in a situation that leg breaks are no infrequent, but this is different. The scale of the gash is simply horrific. The result of a heinously over-committed, cynical tackle in which the studs were raised, if not with the primary intention of maiming, with the distinct possibility.
The most surprising thing about the tackle is that the recipient, Ewald Lienen, doesn't lay on the floor, subservient to the agony that such an injury must surely invoke. Instead his first thought is to chastise Werder manager Otto Rehhagl, who, Lienen deemed, had incited Siegmann to commit the tackle. This to me is the definition of man, not letting a 25cm slit in your right thigh getting in the way of a good argument.
In a game not too dissimilar from the "Battle of Santiago" see 4 , "The Battle of Brammal Lane also descended into farce after three United players were sent off and another injured, causing the match to be abandoned. Also like the "Battle of Santiago" one tackle stands out and that was Santos' as he leaps into West Brom's Andy Johnson's possibly in revenge for a previous incident in which Johnson's elbow broke Santos' jaw?
Amidst bubbling tension, this game in quite literally kicked off as the game exploding into a mass brawl that implicated nearly every player on the field, including Diego Maradona, well especially Diego Maradona.
No-one was especially wounded in the melee so we can laugh about it, because from an exterior perspective it really is quite funny. I wont say any more for this is YouTube gold If i told you Goicoechea's nickname was the 'Butcher of Bilbao' that would probably be enough to warrant his place on this lift in all likelyhood. The butcher achieved notoriety after a horrendous tackle from behind on Barcelona's Diego Maradona, that injured the later's ankle ligaments and leaving him seriously injured.
The tackle is almost certainly the crux to explain the subsequent shocking display of on-field fighting when the two teams met again later in the same season. Not excusing it though of course, just explaining. Irwin from one side, McClair from the other, Busst's leg the filling in the middle of the sandwich.
There was only going to be one loser and sadly Busst's leg was that man. The fibia and the tibia of Busst's right leg received extensive compound fractures and the match had to be delayed for 10 minutes whilst blood was cleaned off the grass. The injury is often cited as the worst in the history of football and at one point it was debated whether or not Busst would have to lose his right leg, such was the extent of the treatment.
Indeed after 27 operations on his leg Busst never played football again. A testament to the extent of the injury, as if all that wasn't enough, the "Great Dane", Peter Schmiechel was reportedly so shocked by the injury he was sick on the pitch and later needed counselling.
Oh indeed. What became the iconic image of what was a very dirty final, De Jong's foot raised over a metre off the ground, striking Xabi Alonso square in the chest. The "tackle", if you can call it that, is so horrendous its actually quite funny seeing as Alonso sustained no lasting damage. I think you'll agree, this is most certainly not an everyday football challenge and has gone some way to provoking the "fouling" stigma that has followed De Jong in the league this season.
This could and perhaps should be further up the list, but to be honest i feel sixth is the perfect position. This was worse than many of the other tackles on the list in that it was three and a half years in the making.
Keane knew what he was going to do and that fateful day in was presented with the opportunity to exact his "revenge", and took it with blood curdling consequences. The feud began in after a tackle between Keane and Haaland at Elland Road left Keane with an injury to his anterior cruciate ligament.
Whilst Keane lay prone on the ground, Haaland, taking him to be feigning injury to avoid punishment told the United captain to get to his feet. In the event Keane was booked as he was stretchered from the field of play. Keane was out for the remainder of the season and didn't get back to action again for almost a year.
Keane never forgave Haaland. So it was that three and a half years later that Keane got his chance, studs raised, leg crunching into Haaland's right knee. In other words, if a player with the ball falls to the ground but is not touched by anyone on the opposing team, this does not constitute a tackle and the play may continue.
However, in college and high school football , if the ball carrier falls to the ground for any reason the play is called dead and the next down will begin. Where Is Football Most Popular? Who Created Football In America?
