Five moments of madness, following Gerrard’s sending off

Writing in his autobiography, Keane said on the second incident: “There are things I regret in my life and he’s not one of them.”

He also previously wrote: “I’d waited long enough. I f****** hit him hard. The ball was there (I think). Take that you c***. And don’t ever stand over me sneering about fake injuries.”

Haaland claimed that the foul ruined his career, even though he managed to play four days later.

Wayne Rooney stamp on Ricardo Carvalho
Another World Cup, another quarter-final and another disappointing exit for England. This time it was at the 2006 finals against Portugal in a penalty shoot-out, after Rooney got frustrated as he tussled for the ball.

However, frustration turned to anger, and the forward, who was just 20 at the time, stamped on defender Carvalho’s groin. Then-Man Utd teammate Cristiano Ronaldo made matters worse as he demanded that Rooney be sent off, before winking at his bench when the deed was done.

Luis Suarez chomps Giorgio Chiellini mid-match
It seems that World Cups bring out the worst in people, but none more than Uruguay superstar Suarez, who inexplicably decided to ‘gnash’ out on Italy defender Chiellini with his teeth, in what was his third televised biting incident.

His attack went unnoticed by the referee, and his side progressed to the knockout stages, but Suarez was banned for four months from all football.

One for luck… Mayor of London Boris Johnson stumbles and takes out former Manchester City and Germany attacker Maurizio Gaudino in a charity match.
