American Reacts to 15 Most Brutal Fouls in Football

I know. I thought it would be Souness he struggled with, but Graeme!

[@herrdoktorjohan]

I'm very surprised that Eric Cantona's dropkick to a fan of the opposing team, and Camilo Zuniga's knee-forward jump into Neymar's back weren't on that list. Very much agreed with your opinion on Axel Witsel's foul (Nr 9 on the list), it in fact caused a bit of an outcry in Belgium and there were some calls for having him banned from competition if memory serves.

[@domiiinik99]

What's amazing is that dude who had his leg broken (9th place in this video, Marcin Wasilewski) recovered and played professional football again and then went to Leicester achieving with them their "impossible" championship in 2016

[@aidanlynn]

3:35 Graeme Souness did those tackles all the time, there’s compilations of it. 😂

[@jhdix6731]

In the 80s, there were some discussions about harder sanctions for fouls in the Bundesliga. One proposal I remember was to add the injury time of the victim to the player's suspension. (e.g. the player would be suspended for 3 games, but if he had sent someone to hospital for three weeks, he wouldn't play those three weeks + the following three matches). I kind of liked that idea, especially for career - ending fouls.

[@TheHesseJames]

Back in the old days football was quite brutal. Italy won the WC I 1934 specifically with the tactics to take as many opponents as possible. At this time you couldn’t even replace an injured player.

[@stevemccullagh36]

[@JerryO1995]

Unfortunately, Keane's tackle was so dirty that it didn't simply hurt Haaland, but he also ended up retiring.

[@Mozzymandias]

It’s a myth the Keane tackle retired him. He was already playing with an injury to his left knee (Keane tackle was the right knee) and that was the one he had surgery on in the summer and never returned to full fitness. Haaland finished the game, played for Norway midweek and played the next league game. He’s on record saying the tackle didn’t cause him to retire during FA inquiry after Keane’s autobiography where he stated it was pre-meditated. Still absolute horror tackle and just lucky Haaland’s right leg was raised, if it was planted I’ve no doubt it would have been a career ender.

[@karlmeadows4986]

It was his other leg 🦵🏻 which ended his career not the one Keane hit, a simple google will tell you that

[@stephaniehamilton6217]

In the days before VAR the referee cannot always see the angle shown on TV so it will be up to the authorities to retrospectively act, but that doesn’t help the team during the match.

[@owainhopkins5273]

David busst injury was first that came to mind

[@nightstorm5914]

The german goalkeeper was labeled after the match a Enemy of the French, since he didnt made a apology and made same shittalk Also an "interesting" football player was the german Walter Frosch, which had at his "peak" 18/19 yellow cards, where he became the reason to introduce the system, that football players get a suspension after getting to many yellow cards. (His nicknames were "Frosch the Kicker/Hitter"(since he kicked his opponents often), "Kicker/Hitter of the League" and "The Walking bar counter" (since he was also an alcoholic)

[@stingray4real]

During the 1960s and 1990s tackling were more brutal. Players like Vinnie Jones (Lock, Stock And Two Smoking Barrels, Gone In 60 Seconds, Snatch) Stuart Pearce, Nobby Stiles, Ron 'Chopper' Harris, Billy Bremner, Norman Hunter and Jack Charlton.

[@necessaryevil3428]

Stuart Pearce wasn't 'brutal'..... just rock hard with thighs like tree trunks and no fear 😊

[@mr.jglokta191]

Henrik Larssons broken leg should be a honorable mention imo. even if it wasn't really a foul

[@stevebeardsmore3303]

The foul by the German goalkeeper on the French player did not even get a free kick for the French. The French player had teeth knocked out and the German offered to pay his dental work, What a bxxxxxd

[@glennaustin37]

Surprised the Busst 'tackle' not here. Gruesome. And plenty of Vinnie Jones tackles way worse than some of these.

[@mikem10481]

Look at the 70s, especially in England. Tackles flying everywhere and the odd punch up on the pitch. And all you got was a warning.

[@johntheking2k6]

Yeah that kick on fan was vile...

[@robertgrant4987]

With all the bad decisions on top of the bad tackling it's no wonder they've introduced V.A.R, and about time too. Now its been used for a few years, it has in my opinion, improved the game from the POV of less fake diving, less acting hurt, less dangerous tackling and fair off side decisions 👏 yes you may have to wait a bit before you know if your team has scored a goal while it gets checked by VAR but the benefits outweigh

[@martinconnors6200]

Hey Eclectic Beard, I used to play football for my Reserve Team. I had to retire, because the opponent went for my hamstring (with the studs)

It's not a foul an accident, but the worst injury I've seen was Dave Buust playing for Coventry City v Man Utd and three players all went for the ball and it finished up Dave Buust's leg was so badly broken that his bones tore through his skin out through his sock. Peter smiechel was so shocked he vomited on the pitch. Dave Buust could never play again.

[@BigyetiTechnologies]

[@ashleywebster2135]

You should watch clips of the 1970 FA Cup final billed as the most brutal game of football.

[@andrewcoates6641]

Try to locate some footage of Leeds United games from the late 60’s to the mid’70’s when they were managed by Don Revie (?) and Billy Bremner was the team captain . The team were notorious for the number of fouls they committed, in particular one player was so often involved with fouls that even the Leeds supporters had created a chant about him. The player was called Norman Hunter. The chant ran as his name followed by “Bites your legs, bites your legs, bites your legs.” This refain was repeated ad naussium until a player from the opposition team was assisted off the field , usually on a stretcher.

[@themoderntemplar1567]

@andrewcoates6641 You'll probably find them in the vaults of the UFC or in back episodes of Crimewatch 😂

[@GillEdwards-vi8qb]

Norman Hunter was one of the less violent Leeds players and he had a lot of ball skill. His reputation for brutality was undeserved; Jack Charlton, Billy Bremner, Terry Cooper and Johnny Giles were all much worse than him. Mind, Norman was definitely no angel (after all, he played for Leeds) and to say that he was usually less culpable than his team mates is certainly damning with faint praise. 🤕😉

[@kathylecluyse7820]

And to say things used to be way, way worse. I seem to remember a program on BBC where they showed the (in)famous England-Germany Cup Final, with a modern referee marking everything that is considered a foul now. After 15 minutes or so, the match should have been stopped, as there weren't enough players on the field anymore.

[@2strokesmoke783]

Most of these are tame compared to something i witnessed at an under 14s floodlit football practice, not a tackle but a sickening incident for us boys to witness. Mark Setchal had ran to recover the ball behind the goal (in the shadows) he suddenly buckled and fell to the floor screaming in pain, there was a hole about two foot deep and a foot wide and he'd put his leg right into it and snapped his shin bone in two.

[@spirosgreek1171]

The game has changed out of all recognition since I started playing and watching it . Nowadays tackling is almost impossible and it leads to more playacting and off the ball stuff .

Some were accidents , others intentionally trying to hurt players and referees need to know The difference .The commentator is hilarious , it's true we are separated by a common language , at least where football terminology is concerned .

15 most butchered pronunciations

[@themoderntemplar1567]

I was at that game between Glasgow Rangers v Steau Bucharest, Graeme Souness was our player-manager at the time and was known as a tough player. I remember thinking aw f#@k no, he's getting sent off but to our delight he didn't even get a yellow card. We did wince at the tackle though and although I did feel sorry for the Romanian player afterwards I didn't at the time as they were a dirty team themselves that night. The worst I recall seeing was during a Man Utd v Coventry City match where Coventry's Dave Buust suffered an horrific double fracture on his leg, although purely accidental it was nonetheless brutal to see live on tv. Finished the poor guys career.

A lot of really bad fouls don't make it to video, I saw more than a few when going to live matches in the 80's and 90's. I remember David Speedie going over the top on Sunderland captain Gary Bennett who had just returned from a knee operation, targeting the area - 'Benno', who I have met personally and was not just a good defender but is also a really nice guy, reacted by grabbing Speedie by the throat and bundling him over an advertising hoarding! Ben Thatcher, who is shown in your video playing for Manchester City and delivering a forearm smash, had form for that - In his Wimbledon days he did similar to Nicky Summerbee and broke his jaw. Finally, one tackle that wasn't a foul but was probably the most horrendous injury I have ever seen in football was during a Manchester Utd vs Coventry match, two defenders came in on the side of Coventry player David Busst and keeper Peter Schmeichel from the front diving for the ball. Busst's leg broke in 3 places and his career was over, some of the players who saw it (Including Schmeichel) had to have counselling afterwards.

Right im redoing my comment and none of these would make a top ten apart from number one that was pure malice. That said Roy Keane was as hard as diamond and hes spoken about this tackle a few times. There was a Leeds match in the 70s that was far more brutal and certainly took no prisoners. The 3 match ban is/was max ban for red card for violent conduct. When i was 16 at school id made a tiny name for myself as a striker that season. A lad from school played for our close rivals as a centre back and i was centre forward. He came up to me at school and calmly told me he would break my legs in the game on Sunday! Well we had gotten two thirds into the match and we were winning and id gotten both goals and Negus had had enough of me and with both feet of the ground took me out behind my knee there were deep stud marks in the flesh above and below and i was carried of. No card just a free kick, my injury thankfully was no more than some minor cuts, but my rep went way up and im still friends with the guy 38yrs on. The thing is it wasnt the worst tackle i received in the game

[@CHEEKYMONKEY2647]

certain matches they dont replay because of the football hooligans, many matchs get called off due to football hooligans attacking rival team supporters after a foul.

There is a common misconception that football is not a tough game, i played rugby and football never saw a broken bone in rugby (the odd dislocated finger) but lots of broken legs playing football, as for the rolling around, it does happen but take this into consideration youre running at full speed and someone just lightly clips your ankle bone with a stud, thatll sting for 10 minutes trust me

Thanks for the video, keep up the good work. I have been going to the football since the 70s, it was much worse then, players are so protected now in comparison, yet some feign injury and roll all over the floor like idiots at times. As for these tackles most were horrific (I was actually present at all the Arsenal ones), but the idiot doing the commentary was by far the worst thing, didn't have a clue. It's only the last couple of years that V. A. R. has been available so refs had to have seen it and act instantly without the benefit of tv camera angles. Unfortunately I can't say V. A. R. has made much improvement they still make terrible decisions with multiple cameras, slow motion etc that drastically alter the result, sometimes costing teams dearly. It's never going to be perfect but the quality of the refs these days is much lower than 20 odd years ago, they have no stature or authority and aren't respected by the players (although that is the fault of the players).
