7. Eric Cantona
As brilliant as he was, the mardy Frenchman was also prone to bouts of explosive behaviour. Before coming to England he would frequently have run ins with management, opposing fans, and even his own teammates – punching one in the face and kicking another.
Whilst at Auxerre he earned a one month ban for a rash tackle on an opposing player, and then another month long furlough for kicking a ball into his own crowd.
However, his maddest moment came on one infamous night in 1995 where he launched into the crowd during a game with Crystal Palace to kung-fu kick a fan in the chest.
