7. Hakan Unsal (Turkey, 2002)
The name may not bring about too many memories, but that is because the other man involved in the incident made it famous, that being Rivaldo. Hakan Unsal kicked the ball towards the Brazilian who was stood by the corner flag, waiting to take the set-play.
Rivaldo was struck on the knee but went down clutching his face, rolling around on the floor subsequently. Unsal was sent off as a result and the great Brazilian’s reputation was severely damaged in the process.
