  3. Nigel De Jong Nigel de Jong was nicknamed 'the lawnmower' for his tendency to mow down opposition players. In 2010, he bust 2 completely different players' legs, and performed a kung-fu kick on Xabi Alonso in the World Cup final. His aggression has not ebbed with age either, receiving a three-match ban in 2016 when a horror challenge gashed Portland Timbers midfielder Darlington Nagbe. www.matchkings.com

  4. Pepe The Portuguese was amongst the most aggressive defenders in La Liga. This was particularly obvious throughout games with rivals, Barcelona, going so far as stepping on Lionel Messi's hand during an El Classico in 2012. His attack on Getafe's Javier Casquero was much worse, shoving and kicking him before knocking down a team-mate, calling opponents "sons of b****s", subsequently resulting in a 10-match ban. www.matchkings.com

  5. Edmundo The Brazilian forward was highly talented but at the same time a notoriously aggressive figure. Nicknamed ‘Animal’ for his volatile behaviour on and off the pitch, the former Vasco da Gama player apparently crashed into 3 people while driving under the influence of alcohol in 1995. He was charged with unintentional manslaughter in 1999, but evaded four-years in jail with a seven day suspended sentence. www.matchkings.com

  6. Luis Suarez The Uruguayan has had his fair share of the limelight for the wrong reasons. He’s bitten players on three separate occasions, threw a punch at Chilean defender Gonzalo Jara in Santiago and was involved in a racial abuse incident with Patrice Evra. www.matchkings.com

  7. Joey Barton Englishman Joey Barton has garnered much infamy during his professional career as a footballer. Some of the incidents the 35-year-old has been involved in are: A 12- match ban for a random spate of attacks on the opposition, stubbing a roll of tobacco in a very young player’s eye, coming back to blows with a follower, and so on. In April, he was slapped with an 18-month ban for placing 1,208 bets on football matches from 2006 to 2016 www.matchkings.com
