Think you got the wrong date..

@ Arab of Mankunia - I had an arranged marriage with Kim Kardashian

I think the kick happened on the 25th and that article is about the ban and fine United gave him a couple of days later.

This isn't a well known one but to me is probably up there:

Thanks pal.

I'm related to Matthew Simmons

And not embarrassed to say so,I salute you sir

So many to mention:

The Hand of God
Keegan "I'd love it"
ZZ Head Butt
David Boost when he broke his leg at OT
Marco Van Basten's goal
Roberto Carlos Free kick

Not all bad incident but all made you stop and take more then a second look

@ Captain Lionel Hutz

Is he still carrying out pranks?

@ dependabledennis

Yes, David Busst - Schmeichel's face.

Busst's was horrible, made Eduardo's look like a paper cut

One of the strangest things I ever saw on a football field was a game I was actually playing in

Was many years ago in the Manchester Saturday morning league

We were playing against a team that had two rather overweight tough looking black guys in it

One of then gave this skinny kid in his team a bit of jip for messing up a pass and he responded by calling his own team mate a fat black c

Well, what followed was just unreal. The Black guy picked out the corner flag and set off after the guy that had racially abused him and the other big black guy joined in the chase. Because they were rather large, they were not particularly quick and the skinny guy just ran at a pace to keep a few yards in front of them racially abusingthe pair of them at the same time

We just looked on in utter amazement. They ended up disappearing from view and never came back.The ref red carded all three of em for some reason and they had to finish the game with 8 men.

I still wonder if they ever caught up with him
