Worst foul in footy game ever......

That was Leonardo's foul against the US' Tab Ramos. I was in the stadium to witness that foul in person. A horrible foul indeed. As was Schumacher's foul on Battiston. Because both of those fouls occurred in the World Cup many remember those two horrendous fouls.mister dolly wrote:Vinnie Jones was a cockney thug in a Wimbledon shirt...the ultimate henchman in football...
Meanwhile..that Schumacher foul still give me the creeps thinking about it...followed IMHO by that jaw breaking elbow by a Brazillian player (Leornado?) I think against a US player in the 1994 WC...
Another really bad foul was the foul by Trinidad & Tobago's Ancil Elcock against Mexico's Cuauhtemoc Blanco in a World Cup qualifier in 2000. Mexico was winning like 6-1 at the time and eventually won 7-1 as Elcock came in sliding with his bottom of his boot directly at Blanco's knee. Blanco's knee bent backwards and he was out injured for over a year. He has comeback from that injury to do well but has lost the speed and mobility he had beforehand.

world cup 82 incident was the all time classic of roughness in my book (schumacher vs batiston)....I heard he retired 3 or 4 months after that rough tackle and was out for a while...
Also, naija vs that algerian(10 -10) in '88 nations cup...I think it was Obobaifo that laid that assault on him...............USA vs Brazil was a bad one with ramos getting that brain damaging elbow to the face (he almost passed out)..... I think this one shook me up...A welsh player who swallowed his tongue after he was brutally tackled a few years back in the welsh league...Luckily he lived........

In the days when Arsenal were reknown for their thuggery, Paul Davis smahed the nose(?) of Southampton's Glen Cockeril.

Oh..The worst foul i ever saw on tape was the foul Morais of Portugal gave on Pele in the 1966 World Cup in England..Goodness! i got the tape...he got no card!! The guy chopped Pele off the ground when Pele made a move at first..then Pele got up in pain, flicked the ball away and Morais violently took Pele's legs from under him..never seen a foul like that.. meanwhile Pele was in agony and was carried off the game with a torn muscle and vowed never to play a world cup ever again..Luckily he was begged back to the Brazil squad of 1970 and dominated the world again

Portugal and Bulgaria gave brazil a run for their money. The Portuguese, bulgarians and hungarians almost brougth a stop to pele's career.......The Bulgarian's do not have the reputation as the roughest team for nothing.....Kill and bury is their game.........

Stephen Gerrard committed a foul last season that should have earned him at least a year's ban

That's some funny thought right there. Ribo was not formerly known as Hatchet-man West for nuthin.Jinn wrote:...he must've been thanking his stars denmark did him a favor...maybe the injury that kept him out of football after the WC would have occurred much earlier...& lasted longerplatinum wrote:omey2k4Ronaldo made a comment about being glad he was on the same team as West and not facing him.

The worst foul i have ever seen was during a match between Coventry City and ManU back in 1997. It happen in the Man U box 18. Peter Sche(sp), ManU goalkeeper had to be counselled for weeks. The player from Conventry broke his leg so bad. He had over 40 operation on it just to get the leg straight. He never walked again, talkless of playing.
