Marco Boogers - West Ham legend.... managed to get sent off about five minutes into his debut for nearly castrating Gary Neville with a horrific tackle

Schumacher for Germany vs France, nearly killed the fella, breaking his back etc

John Fashanu elbowing Gary Mabbut in the face and smashing his cheekbone and eye socket, he still has no feeling on one side of his face to this day.

Brian Marwood for breaking Adrian Heath's leg ( thijnk it was heath, can't quite remember )

I remember watching that Schumacher one, I was only young at the time but it's always stuck in my mind....... Shockingly he never even got booked for it if i recall correctly.

Van Bommel.
As somebody above says, there is a difference between hard and dirty, and Van Bommell is the definition of a dirty coward. Despised him as a footballer, no idea what he was like off the pitch, but on the field he was a scumbag.

Cannavaro the same, nasty fouls. Regularly would rake his studs down the back of a strikers calf.

Gerrard the hypocritical w****r has to be up there. Remember the forearm smash on Michael Brown? Amongst all of his snide challenges, whining & diving.

Not saying hes the worst of the worst but the fact it gets absolutely no mention in the media infuriates me.

Exactly. Like I say, not the dirtiest by any stretch of the imagination but the fact he's not got a reputation through the media as a despicable, cheating, diving, whining, cowardly, hypocritical, overrated reds***e gobs***e I'll never know.
