8) Manchester Derby (Manchester City v Manchester United)
The Manchester derby has been reinvigorated in recent years, following the emergence of City as regular title contenders. The derbies are often bad tempered affairs; on one occasion Red Devils legend George Best tackling and breaking Glyn Pardoe’s leg, while in 2001 Roy Keane’s infamous hack at Alf-Inge Haaland resulted in the Norwegian calling a premature end to his playing career.
