He actually didn't end his career but whatever. Still a terrible challenge.
==================================
What did Haaland do after this challenge? He was a proven prem player for Leeds and City but after this challenge he spent a couple of years in the physio table and was never able to regain fitness or form and retired blaming the Keane challenge for ending his career.

Yea, he said he intended to foul him. Nowhere did he say it was a terrible tackle though. Maybe you should go back and read it.

Haaland managed to finish the game you know? He even played the week after as well. It was then an injury to his other knee which ended up finishing his career.

Pat that is correct he did play on and also the next game until he came off injured. We don't know what the lasting damage was from the Keane challenge but he claims while the challenge was on his right knee the impact was felt on his standing left knee.
Make what you want out of that, i'm no expert but we all know what Keane's intentions were.

You said that Keane admitted himself that it was the worst tackle ever. That's just an incorrect statement. Pure and simple so stop being so bloody stupid. I'm not defending what was a terrible tackle but don't say he said stuff when he blatantly didn't.
Can you understand that?

Comical comment of the day.

Cantona, Keane and Thatcher's were by far the worst three. I don't think there's much difference between them. They are all a case of a player completely losing the plot (possibly with the exception of Keane as he seemed to have been opportunistic).
The Suarez bite comes next because it's pretty barbaric.
I don't really know why Rooney's kick is in there. Obviously it's violent conduct and deserved a *cough* two game ban, but it wasn't in any way dangerous. If you kick someone with your laces they're almost certain to avoid any sort of injury.
