Kevin Muscat

It's bad but not as bad as the Roy Keane one which finished Alf Inge Haaland's career. That one was premeditated; Keane admitted he went in with the intent of injuring.

 

The frightening thing about Muscat's "tackle" was the guy landing on his head. Thank God he's even conscious.

Not strictly a tackle but what Ben Thatcher did to Pedro Mendes is the worst I've seen.

It's everything from the way Thatcher runs in looking at Mendes to the elbow itself and then Thatcher's reaction after he takes him out. Not an ounce of sympathy or remorse in him. Scum.

City banned Thatcher for 4 games and fined him 6 weeks wages. The F.A suspended Thatcher for 8 games and and extra 15 games suspended ban.

 

Mendes had to have oxygen at pithcside and suffered a seizure on the way to the hospital but there were no long term lasting effects and he was playing within weeks.

 

The incident was the second time in less than three weeks that a Thatcher elbow had hospitalised an opponent, following an incident on August 4 in a pre-season tour of China, when his challenge caused a career-threatening collapsed lung in Yang Chungang, a 20-year-old midfielder from Shanghai Shenhua
