Is Suarez the dirtiest footballer in history?

Luis Suarez seems to be on a mission to win the accolade of dirtiest footballer in history after his bite on Giorgio Chilelini. Remember that was not his first bite of the cheryy(weird) but his third after attacks on Ottman Bakkal whilst at Ajax and Branislav Ivanovic.

We however cannot allow him to contest alone so we have provided four challengers to his claim.

Lets find the dirtiest

The Butcher of Bilbao Goiko

Andoni Goikoetxea was popularly referred to as the Butcher of Bilbao in his prime so that should give you a fair idea of his talents. The Athletico Bilbao defender's claim to fame was a mad challenge on then most expensive footballer in the world Diego Maradona in 1983.Maradona spent considerable time out of the game whilst Goiko continued his rampage,injuring a player here and ending a career there. Legend has it he kept the boots he used to injure Maradona at home in a glass case.Yikes.

Vinnie Jones at work

 Vinnie Jones to most movie lovers is that English dude who plays the bad guy role so well. Let us then remind you of his real talents then. Jones was captain of the Wimbledon team in the English league that called itself the "Crazy Gang" and they specialised in bruises and broken bones.A very poignat reminder is that image of Jones crushing the family jewels of Paul Gascoigne with a smirk on his face.

Paolo Montero was a regular with referees

Roy Keane of course has to make this list. When you wait one year to exact a career ending tackle on n opponent you definitely will make this list. The Manchester United captain has several victims in his registry but the most infamous is the one on Manchester City midfielder Alf Inge Haaland.Keane's tackle left Haaland with a broken leg and an ended career. Did we add that Keane wrote about the incident in his autobiography?
"I had waited long enough.I hit him hard. Take that you c**t and don't ever stand over me sneering about fake injuries".

Roy Keane halves Haaland

Paulo Montero holds an unwanted record. The former captain of Uruguay also happens to be the most sent off player in the history of the Serie A which is quite the accomplishment considering they allow a lot to go in that league. Juventus had to suffer him for years but that was because when he wanted to he was one heck of a defender.
