Top 50 Most Shocking Moments! 10-1

*TBU*
Time for numbers 10-1 of the Top 50 Most Shocking Moments in Premier League History!

10. Fair Play!

It is very rare to find players playing for 'the sport' or 'to have fun'. Players want to win as much as their team mates, but this is something that gave Paolo Di Canio a second thought for his next action on December 16th, 2001 against Everton. The goalkeeper for Everton, Paul Gerrard suffered an injury from a routine slide. This could have resulted a major loss for the team, but Di Canio, instead of kicking a goal into an empty net, picked the ball up with both hands and await for medical officers to assist the injured opponent player. Again, it is very rare to find players like this. Sir, I salute you!

9. Fergie Time!

April 10, 1993
Fergie Time is referred to the event involving Sir Alex Ferguson, Captain Steve Bruce, and Dennis Irwin. 85 minutes into the game, Bruce headed into an equaliser from Irwin's throw. This resulted an extra seven minutes added into the game as no clear winner was found. This gave the opportunity for Bruce to score again the winning goal and the turning point to spark a golden era.

8. Why always me?
October 23, 2011

This game win was the day when Manchester was taken a little more seriously by fellow spectators. Mario Balotelli managed to get everyone laughing when he pulled his shirt up, revealing a vest with the words, 'Why always me?' - a phrase that made it into headlines and a memorable link to the day - even after receiving a yellow card.

7. Crown Slips - True Colors exposed!
November 5, 2006

Arsene Wenger - always seen as an angel, not this time. Marlon Harewood's 89th minute strike also added a strike in Wenger's and Alan Pardew's tempers. He (Wenger) also refused to shake Pardew's hand at full-time. I guess people having tempers is normal, the trick is, finding a way to reduce it.

6. Moment of Madness!
February 7, 2015

Nigel Pearson could be spending only one season in the Premier League for threatening Leicester City player, James McArthur. It started as McArthur and Marc Albrighton laughed at Pearson who was knocked off balance. Pearson then engaged at McArthur by putting both hands around his neck, even holding on to his shirt after getting up. 'He said something to me,' Pearson stated.

Though something was said, what was it?

5. 'Let's be having you!'
February 28, 2005

Most of the shocking moments shown here are by players who draw attention. This one is about the owner, Delia Smith of Norwich who, during the break took the microphone and announced throughout the P.A system, 'We need a 12th man here. Where are you? Where are you? Let's be having you. Come on!' With the Canaries drawing against Manchester at 2-2 in half-time, she admitted having some wine along with a meal and denied having any throughout the game. Though in the end, Norwich lost.

4. Mistaken Identity
March 22, 2014

Though it is easy to find the player who made a kick or a foul, referees are there to prevent that. Not this time. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain desperately used his hand to tip Eden Hazard's shot around the post, conceding a penalty and what looked like a certain red card for the midfielder. Unfortunately for Andre (referee), mistaken Kieran Gibbs for the foul, was shown the red card. In my opinion, one referee is not enough, or yet any referee who takes action before thoughts.

 

3. Score from a throw-in
September 16, 2002

Everyone knows it is impossible to score from a throw-in, looks like it has been proven wrong by Birmingham. Peter Enckleman was getting ready to receive the ball for an attack. The ball bounced under his boot before rolling into the net, scoring for the opposition. How shocking!

2. Leg Break! - Horrific!
February 27, 2010

Aaron Ramsey broke his leg during the game against Stoke City. It was so horrific that it made even some of his team-players look visibly sick. It took him 3 years to recover from this injury, and even though the team won, Wenger still shares his sympathy for the youngster's injury.

1. Going Down in Flames!
March 20, 2004
Another moment involving temper. The shocking image of Steffan Freund being strangled by Duncan Ferguson was one that nobody could ever forget. Ferguson grabbed his opponent (Freund) and pulled him down backwards while shouting, 'If you're going down, you're going down in flames!' A four-match ban was issued to Ferguson.

Top 50 Most Shocking Moments! 20-11

Time for numbers 20-11 of the Top 50 Most Shocking Moments in Premier League History!

20. Crossing the line

April 3, 1999

xHaving suffered the taunts of Everton fans for taking a performance-enhancing ‘drug’, Robbie Fowler saw fit to get one back after scoring an equaliser at Anfield. But with the police taking interest in his actions, as well as the FA, it's fair to say he took things a bit too far.

After smashing his spot-kick, Fowler sprinted straight towards the end and crawled along the byline, mimicking the snorting of cocaine in front of the furious fans.

Team-mate Steve McManaman dragged him up from the turf, but Fowler was soon down on the ground again making the same gesture before shaking his fists.

A four-game ban was given to Fowler, in addition to the two games that he was ruled out for his abuse of Graeme Le Saux.

19. Keown 'congratulates' Van Nistelrooy

September 21, 2003

Seeing Martin Keown, eyes wide with joy, after Ruud van Nistelrooy had missed a last-minute penalty became one of the defining images of the Manchester United-Arsenal rivalry, on a day that would prove crucial in the team’s unbeaten status on the Premier League title.

Van Nistelrooy had been involved earlier in the game in an incident that saw Arsenal captain Patrick Vieira kicked out, with the Dutchman deemed by the Frenchman's team-mates to have exaggerated a kick-out following an aerial challenge.

The United striker drove his spot-kick on to the crossbar and Keown was straight in his face to rub it in, followed by the rest of his Arsenal team-mates as a 22-man confrontation broke out.

Keown wrote about the story.

'Perhaps I overreacted, but the whole team was infuriated by him,' he said. 'And I'm still not convinced I deserved to give away the penalty that Ruud eventually missed!'

18. Thatcher throws his elbow

August 23, 2006

Ben Thatcher's elbow on Portsmouth midfielder Pedro Mendes remains a shocking image for all those that witnessed it.

Though Thatcher escaped with just a yellow card as Dermot Gallagher missed the sickening smash, he was later banned for eight matches as the FA circumvented its own rules for his 'serious foul play', as well as fined six weeks of wages.

With Mendes chasing a bouncing ball, Thatcher was clearly not going to win it before the Portsmouth man. As the two came together, the he (Thatcher) threw his arm straight into Mendes' face, and his opponent appeared to be out cold even before he hit the ground and slid head-first into the advertising hoardings.

After his hospital discharge the next day, Mendes did not push any further action against Thatcher.

17. Team-talk on the pitch for Brown

December 26, 2008

When your side is 4-0 down at half-time, managers must find ways to engage their players and boost their confidence out in the field. Phil Brown of Hull had a fairly unorthodox way of going about it.

Rather than conduct the dressing down in the changing rooms, the tanned boss picked the penalty area in front of the away end to tear into his players.

'I thought it was nice and cold and I thought I would keep the boys alive because they looked as if they were dead,' Brown said. 'Our 4,000 travelling fans deserved some kind of explanation for the first-half performance and it was difficult for me to do that from the confines of a changing room. We owed them an apology for the first-half performance.'

The second half was slightly better as Hull went home with just a 5-1 defeat. What a sport!

16. Adebayor takes revenge on Arsenal

September 12, 2009

A player scoring against his former club tends to be regarded as a pointless gesture these days, but the stewards working in the away end when Manchester City faced Arsenal in 2009 would have wished Emmanuel Adebayor had embraced the tired tradition.

Manchester’s supporters were not a happy bunch, booing and directing chants at their ex-centre forward.

But then Adebayor scored in the 80th minute. Having headed the ball past Manuel Almunia, the former Gunner ran the length of the pitch to slide on his knees in front of the away section. Coins, lighters and even a plastic chair rained down on the Adebayor as his team-mates hurriedly beckoned him away from the riot kicking off in the stands.

One unfortunate consequence was an injury to a steward caught up in the mob. Adebayor apologised for that but not for the way he reacted towards the Arsenal fans and went on to say: 'Players should feel like they can celebrate a goal without the fear of being hit by things.'

15. Eduardo's leg break

February 23, 2008

WARNING - GRAPHIC PHOTOGRAPH BELOW

The fact that television stations wouldn't dare to repeat the images of Eduardo's horror leg break under the challenge of Birmingham City's Martin Taylor go to show just how shocking a moment this was.

With less than three minutes gone at St Andrew's, Taylor flew in for a challenge on the Croatian striker, but as Eduardo nimbly nipped the ball away from his foot, Taylor's studs smashed into his leg, above his ankle and left the bottom of his limb hanging off.

Sky Sports chose not to show a close-up such was the sickening nature of the injury and Match of the Day limited its coverage too. Taylor was shown a straight red by Mike Dean but only received a three-match ban despite calls from FIFA president Sepp Blatter for that number to be increased.

Arsene Wenger initially said that Taylor should 'never play football again'. The former Blackburn player claimed to have visited Eduardo in hospital and that an apology was accepted. Eduardo, however, could not remember the visit or even the tackle that nobody else could forget. He was never quite the same and left Arsenal for Shakhtar Donetsk two years later.

14. Bosnich gives a Nazi salute against Spurs

October 12, 1996

Another example of players responding to the taunts of fans - but if you thought Adebayor's reaction was a little excessive, Australian goalkeeper Mark Bosnich took things to a much more sinister level.

Tottenham fans at White Hart Lane had been baiting the 24-year-old after a controversial incident two years previously with Spurs' German star Jurgen Klinsmann. Bosnich responded by raising one arm in a Nazi-style salute and used his other hand to display a makeshift moustache. Spurs, of course, have a famously strong Jewish following.

The Aussie stopper used the slightly unusual excuse of claiming he was imitating a scene from Fawlty Towers and stressed that he had not intended to offend and did not know about Tottenham's Jewish links. 'If it had been intentional, I should be in jail,' he said.

Bosnich got off lightly. His offence was not spotted by the referee and he was later fined just £1,000 by the FA after he was found guilty of misconduct.

13. Bent's beach ball goal

October 17, 2009

Fans pride themselves on being their side's 12th man, but one Liverpool supporter effectively scored an own goal for his side with the misguided throw of a beach ball on a trip to the Stadium of Light.

Sunderland striker Darren Bent latched on to a loose ball on the edge of Pepe Reina's penalty area and while his shot was powerful, it rolled along the turf seemingly straight towards the waiting goalkeeper. But, it cannoned off the beach ball – complete with Liverpool crest – thrown from the away end, changed direction and left Reina baffled as it flew past him and into the net.

The fan at fault, 16-year-old Callum Campbell, received death threats from fellow Reds supporters and claimed to have been physically sick after condemning his side to defeat.

Somehow, Liverpool manager Rafa Benitez managed to avoid blaming the incident for his side's defeat, saying it was 'just one of those things', even though the referee should have stopped the game due to the 'outside interference' according to the letter of the law.

12. Gerrard slips

April 27, 2014

After 24 years without the title coming to Anfield, 2013-14 finally looked like the year for Liverpool to win the Premier League. The team coach was greeted each week by hundreds of supporters singing 'we're gonna win the league' and the table-toppers were three winnable games from the title having already seen off Manchester City earlier in the month.

A weakened Chelsea side, in the middle of two Champions League semi-final legs, were the visitors at Anfield and captain Steven Gerrard, who had been finding a new life at the base of Liverpool's midfield, had the chance to step past the final hurdle towards filling that space in his trophy cabinet. But just before half-time, everything went wrong.

Letting a pass from Mamadou Sakho roll under his foot, Gerrard prepared to rake out one of those cross-field passes that we have all grown so used to over the years. But his right foot slipped beneath him as he let the ball run a little too far, and suddenly the Liverpool skipper was face-down on the turf. Demba Ba ran on to the loose ball to complete the simplest of tasks, tucking it past Simon Mignolet to put Chelsea ahead.

Liverpool strived to find an equaliser but couldn't as Jose Mourinho's men sat deep and by the time Willian broke through on goal in the closing stages to net a second, Gerrard's title dream was all-but done. A 3-3 draw against Crystal Palace a week later only furthered Manchester City's advantage, and that slip arguably leaves him as the Premier League's best player never to lift the trophy.

11. The Suarez-Evra saga

October 15, 2011

Luis Suarez's time in the Premier League will be remembered for the controversy he courted as much as the goals he scored, and his on-field spat with Patrice Evra during Manchester United's visit to Anfield would run and run. To this day Suarez still sees himself as a targeted hate-figure for the English press.

According to the FA disciplinary committee, Liverpool's Uruguayan forward used the word 'negro' repeatedly towards Evra on the field and at one point told the Frenchman: 'I don't speak to blacks'. Suarez admitted to the use of the word 'negro' but, having arrived in England just nine months previous, said it was taken differently in his native Spanish.

Liverpool's players, offering their support before the FA banned him for eight games, wore shirts with Suarez's image while warming up ahead of a game against Wigan Athletic. Manager Kenny Dalglish also sported one. Having served the ban, Suarez then refused to shake Evra's hand when the two teams next met at Old Trafford in February 2012. Evra responded by celebrating a 2-1 victory by geeing up the home supporters in front of a dejected Suarez.

It was an ugly series of events, all sparked by Suarez's continued abuse and use of inappropriate language on the field. The one good thing that did come out of it was a revision of the FA's rule to extend the maximum ban that could be given for racism.

Top 50 Most Shocking Moments! 30-21

*TBU*
Time for numbers 40-31 of the Top 50 Most Shocking Moments in Premier League History!

30. Prutton loses control

February 26, 2005

Southhampton’s David Prutton received a red card for tackling opposition player, Robert Pires. He was ordered to leave the field, but did not leave which made things a lot worse. Referee Alan Wiley proceeded to step forward to control the raging Prutton but was pushed aside. He was stopped by his cool-headed manager, Harry Redknapp, but also received a 10-game ban with a £6,000 fine. For one who keeps control of where the ball goes, loses it in his temper.

29. Fluffing

October 22, 2005

A well-devised plan for a penalty from two of the Premier League's best players: what could go wrong? A lot, it seemed.

Robert Pires had already given Arsenal the lead from the spot against Manchester City when the Gunners won a second penalty and the chance to double their lead. But Pires attempted to tap the ball forward, leaving the goalkeeper and defending player confused. It also allowed Thierry Henry to slot into the net.

Fortunately for Arsenal, Pires and Henry, they could laugh about it later after holding on for the 1-0 win, brushing off the disrespect they shown to their opponents.

28. 38-second final flourish

March 22, 2015

Steven Gerrard's last acts as a Liverpool player certainly won't be forgotten in a hurry. He was the game-changer as he made a goal to Manchester in the biggest game of the season.

He certainly changed the game, but it was only to swing it further in United's favour. In 38 seconds after entering the field, Liverpool's iconic No 8 left his boot in on Ander Herrera and was shown the red card by referee Martin Atkinson.

After losing probably the team’s MVP, Liverpool have lost the match, hanging their Championship qualification by a thread.

27. The fake footballer

November 23, 1996

In Ali Dia's had his 'cousin' George Weah play to win a chance in the Premier League.

Saints boss Graeme Souness took a call from the former World Player of the Year recommending his cousin, a 13-cap, 30-year-old Senegal international who had played for the likes of Paris Saint-Germain during his career. Souness took the opportunity and signed Dia up on an initial one-month contract. Two small problems: it wasn't Weah that called him and Dia was just your average university student in Portsmouth.

Named on the bench for a home game against Leeds United, Dia made his Premier League bow after Matt Le Tissier was taken off injured 33 minutes into the game. 52 minutes later, he was being brought down again.

Soon, Weah confirmed that it was not him who called and he had no idea who Dia was. Southampton cut their ties with the player just 14 days into his contract – but he did live the dream of becoming a Premier League player, and even managed a shot on target during his one appearance. Dia went on to play for non-League games. 

26. Captain takes a seat mid-game

February 23, 2008

The greatest captains are at their best when they lead their teams out of the darkest moments to find their top form again. Sadly for Arsenal, William Gallas was not one of these ‘great captains’.

After facing a tough match against Birmingham with a striker already carried off with a broken leg and McFadden netted a late disputed penalty, Gallas brought Stuart Parnaby down – and the Arsenal captain was far from impressed. After kicking an advertising hoarding in frustration, Gallas refused to line up on the edge of the penalty area for the spot-kick and instead stood on the halfway line. He also refused to leave the field, sitting in the centre-circle alone after the final whistle until manager Arsene Wenger instructed him to get up. Arsenal went on to fall away in the title race and the choice of Gallas to succeed Thierry Henry as captain looked a poor one.

25. Horror leg break

April 8, 1996

WARNING - GRAPHIC PHOTOGRAPH BELOW

It takes a lot to get to Manchester United's goalkeeping icon Peter Schmeichel, but even the legendary Danish stopper looked on the verge of being physically sick at David Busst's injury in the Old Trafford goalmouth towards the end of the season.

2 minutes into Coventry City's visit to United, Busst had a collision with Denis Irwin and Brian McClair, breaking his leg with the bone visible through his sock. The game was held up for nine minutes and water and sand had to be used to remove the substantial amount of blood from the grass.

The injury was so bad that there was a possibility that Busst would have to have his leg amputated. Fortunately he avoided that fate but such was the extent of it and the infections that followed that he never played professionally again.

United won with 1-0, but both teams were eager to get the game over after seeing Busst’s tragic.

24. Barton fights City on the final day

May 13, 2012

It was somewhat overshadowed by Sergio Aguero's intervention later in the day, but Joey Barton almost stole all the headlines when he was sent off for Queens Park Rangers on a visit to former club Manchester City on the final day of the 2011-12 season.

Barton received a 12-game ban with a fine of £75,000 by the FA for three separate incidents within the space of a few seconds to avoid the drop. First, he clashed with Carlos Tevez off the ball and was shown the red card by Mike Dean.

Not satisfied with that though, Barton kicked out at Sergio Aguero and then appeared to aim a headbutt at Vincent Kompany. Each offence was deemed worthy of a four-game ban, adding up to the 12-game total.

Eventually, with the added time from Barton's fracas and the help of a man extra, City turned around a 2-1 deficit to win 3-2 and seal the Premier League title.

23. Face Off in the tunnel

February 1, 2005

Rivalry should begin and end only at a game. This is not the case for Captains Roy Keane, and Patrick Vieira who already confronted each other at the entrance tunnel to the field.

The two captains were already at each other's throats and the match hadn't even kicked off. Fortunately for fans watching on television, Sky's cameras caught most of the confrontation which left referee Graham Poll with the unenviable task of pulling them apart by shouting 'Roy, Roy, Roy, Patrick, Patrick, Patrick'.

Right up until kick-off the pair were having a pop at each other, but Keane ended up the victor as he led United to a 4-2 win to seal a league double over one of his fiercest rivals.

22. Fowler vs Le Saux

February 27, 1999

Chelsea left back Graeme Le Saux might have been married with a young daughter but that did not stop rumours about his sexuality following the England defender throughout his career.

Robbie Savage is among the players who have since apologised for taunting Le Saux, but the most high-profile incident was a running battle between Le Saux and Robbie Fowler at Stamford Bridge in the same year.

After a physical challenge that ended with Le Saux laid out, Fowler is reported to have said: 'Get up, you poof,' before bending over to mimic a sex act, repeatedly shouting: 'Come and give me one up the a***.'

Somehow Fowler escaped with just a two-match ban despite embarrassing himself in front of the world.

21. Keegan's rant

April 29, 1996

Caught live, and in response to Sir Alex Ferguson's claims that teams try harder against his United side rather than Newcastle, Kevin Keegan let rip: 'I've kept really quiet but I'll tell you something, he went down in my estimations when he said that.

'We have not resorted to that. You can tell him now, we're still fighting for this title and he's got to go to Middlesbrough and get something. And I'll tell you, honestly, I will love it if we beat them. Love it. But it really has got to me. I've voiced it live, not in front of the press or anywhere. I'm not even going to the press conference. But the battle is still on and Man United have not won this yet.'

Newcastle drew their last two games while United won theirs to take the title by four points to leave Keegan looking a little silly and giving an early indication that Fergie was the master of mind-games.
