Dreadful Challenges

Last night's Celtic - Benfica game threw up the following appaling challenge by Benfica's Binya (just after the goal in the clip)

Apparently the paragon of innocence that is Graeme Souness was critical of Binya, he must've forgotten this (2 mins into the clip):

Though, I still think this is one of the worst challenges I've ever seen:

This is always worth viewing:

Haven't got time to see if it's already been cited, but the challenge by the German keeper Schumacher on the French midfielder Battiston in the 1982 World Cup semi-final has to rank as one of the most dreadful ever. Ref completely missed it, of course - to the amazement of the watching millions!

From Wikipedia ...Battiston is particularly remembered for the 1982 FIFA World Cup semi final in Seville, when France faced West Germany. He came off the bench in the second half, and after ten minutes of play, following a through ball by Platini, Battiston was clear through the German defence racing towards goal. The German goalkeeper, Harald Schumacher, raced towards Battiston as the Frenchman took the shot, missing the goal. Schumacher leapt into the air, twisting his body and colliding with Battiston. In the process Schumacher's hip hit the French striker's face in a cowardly and despicable action. Battiston, clattered, fell to the ground unconscious, with damaged vertebrae and teeth knocked out, later slipping into a coma. Emergency medics had to administer oxygen on the pitch. Michel Platini later said that he thought that Battiston was dead, because "he had no pulse and looked pale".

What I like best about that clip is the sequence of attempts - the first was half hearted, the second a bit more cynical and the third a full blooded assault. I'm sure if he'd avoided that last one the next bloke would have stabbed or shot him or something.
