What's the worst tackle ever seen in football?

[Superjay]

Just been watching a programme about the 1982 world cup.

 

Maradona got absolutely destroyed in that tournament. Especially the italy game.

 

But what Schumacher does to battiston must go down as the worst "tackle" of all time?

3 cracked vertebrae & missing teeth and the c**t claims innocence that he dived.

Who was the recent one in a European game against a Scottish side?

 

Think the guy or team was Portugese. Big stamp right over the top of the ball.

Remember it well. Was great!

Actually more seriously, the worst tackle I've seen was by Steve Perryman (ex Spurs) in a bad tempered game vs Barcelona circa 1982, I think. Basically raked his studs down as much of the Barcelona player's (can't remember who) leg as he could get. Very obviously pre-meditaed, although strangely English TV didn't highlight the incident.

what about that souness one on (i think) his debut for rangers? that one where he just stamped on the lad's balls. then protested about how he'd been fouled earlier so it was alright. was f***ing hilarious.

[Beardsley]

Roy Keane on Alf Inge Haaland. Ended Haalands career, and Keane bragging of it in his book.

[Falconhoof]

Essien on Didi was quite a severe challenge.

That wasn't his debut, although he did get sent off in that match.

Always, always make me laugh that one.

Wasn't a tackle but John Fashanu's elbow on Gary Mabbutt was f***ing brutal

Always, always make me laugh that one.

 

Especially the no. 7 jogging over a pushing him then running away like a jesse. Very Fr. Dougal Maguire

it's like something out of a f***ing cartoon.

I can't find it on You Tube but Gavin McGuire's tackle which finished the career of Danny Thomas deserved a jail sentence.

At least there's a ball in sight. Unlike this one.

Vinny Jones on Gary Stevens (Spurs utility player) was a similar one.

Never right after it.

I think it's the way they have 2 bites at him, then the chap just seems to say "THIS is how you do it".
