2. Stuart Pearce
The defender was given the nickname ‘Psycho’, which says it all. Pearce broke his leg while playing for West Ham and tried to ‘run it off’ and when he eventually was substituted, he walked off the pitch after refusing to be stretchered off.
1. Roy Keane
Keane admitted that his near career ending lunge of Manchester City player Alf-Inge Haaland was pre-meditated saying, “I’d waited long enough, I f***ing hit him hard. The ball was there (I think). That take that ****. And don’t ever stand over me sneering about fake injuries.” The Irishman was also well known for hit spats with Patrick Vieira and was infamously sent home from the 2002 World Cup.
