15) Eduardo’s leg break – Another Arsenal player victim to a horrible tackle, Eduardo had his leg broken against Birmingham in 2008 and never truly recovered despite making a comeback around a year later.

14) Nazi salute – former goalkeeper Marko Bosnich appeared to taunt Tottenham fans with a Nazi salute in a game at White Hart Lane in 1996, later apologising and claiming he didn’t know about the club’s strong Jewish following.

13) Beach ball goal – Playing for Sunderland at the time, Darren Bent scored a winner against Liverpool with the help of a beach ball that got onto the pitch, deflecting the shot past Pepe Reina.
