Dirtiest Footballers Ever by jejemanito: 8:37pm On Oct 24, 2014 |
Football is a beautiful game no doubt. That notwithstanding some players have been so bent on making it appear dirty and ugly I based my pick on poor disciplinary records, tactical cheating and outright disgustful acts. So then from my own meandering experiences/researches I present to you those who have chosen to approach the beautiful game in the dirtiest of manners |

LUIS SUAREZ Where do I begin with this one self Few things can make one infamous than denying Ghana the honour of being the first African nation to make a World Cup semifinal. The fact that Suarez’s goalmouth handball happened in the first World Cup on African soil only made the situation all the worse. To make matters worse he even shamelessly celebrated after Gyan missed the resulting penalty Despite being a wonderfully talented player, Suarez knows how to court controversy like none other. He became public enemy No. 1 during his racism episode with Patrice Evra. His diving exploits are well-publicised leading to refs overlooking him even when he was genuinely fouled. Poor old men you wouldn't blame them And of cause lastly his penchant for biting opponents—as both Otman Bakkal, Branislav Ivanovic and Giorgio Chiellini can testify—which has all but undermined his reputation. He was even invited by macdonalds to take a bite of hamburger if he was still hungry after last world cup's incident

PEPE I’m all for a bit of muscular defending, but Pepe surely takes things a bit too far. His physical approach has often infuriated opposing fans and players. His aggression and temper have got him into trouble, not least when taking his frustrations out on Getafe’s poor central midfielder Javier Casquero; but major problems have arisen when Pepe’s approach has become nasty and cynical. His torrid stamping on Leo Messi’s hand during Real Madrid’s defeat to Barcelona in January 2012 was beamed to an international audience. While he could usually count on the support of boss Jose Mourinho, on this occasion, the Portuguese international was forced to issue a full apology.

ASHLEY YOUNG Poor Ashley Young has a lot of trouble staying on his feet. Perhaps he has an enduring inner ear infection? More likely he has a disgusting inclination to cheat whenever the opportunity arises. The stats speak for themselves. Young won 11 penalties in 200 Premier League games before the end of 2012, and he's continued `losing his balance' since then. There is nothing wrong with winning penalties when you're genuinely fouled, but even Alex Ferguson said he fell dramatically for one of the penalties he won for Manchester United in the 2011-12 season. In the 2013-14 season, he was also warned by David Moyes about his diving. Other managers and pundits have been less careful with their words, blatantly calling him a cheater and diver. He has been booked at least four times in his career for diving.

NIGEL DE JONG Nigel de Jong is one of those players who always puts the boot in, but somehow or other gets away with it. In 2010 alone, he broke the legs of both Bolton's Stuart Holden and Newcastle's Hatem Ben Arfa. In the 2010 World Cup final, he was on a personal crusade to stop the magnificent Spanish team playing football, and he even admitted after the game that he was lucky not to be sent off after a chest-high challenge on Xabi Alonso. He should in the next Kung Fu Panda

jejemanito:Paul Scholes I think is the player with most red card in ucl history along side Edgar Davids,one of the most booked in epl history,isn't that been dirty? |
Re: Dirtiest Footballers Ever by jejemanito: 7:10am On Oct 25, 2014 |
tuffgongjo:Paul Scholes? Highest red card? No way! |
Re: Dirtiest Footballers Ever by tuffgongjo(m): 7:13am On Oct 25, 2014 |
jejemanito:Try read ucl records for your answer. 32yellows in ucl(the highest ever)$2 red cards. 99epl yellows$4reds(the 3rd highest in epl history). He even said if a player kicked him early in a match he always put it @ d back of his mind to get back @ such player b4 d match ends. So hope u can see he deserves a place on this list? |

kolamilan:He does not. He is more like Scholes that like tripping players down. The fiasco @ germany 2006 was triggered by that idiot called matarrazi |
Re: Dirtiest Footballers Ever by jejemanito: 11:56am On Oct 25, 2014 |

Re: Dirtiest Footballers Ever by tuffgongjo(m): 12:16pm On Oct 27, 2014 |
