We take a look at who became infamous after looking to get a ‘taste’ of the action.
Following Liverpool striker Luis Suarez’s bizarre bite on Chelsea’s Branislav Ivanovic, fanatix looks back at who shocked sports fans around the world with their shocking on-field behaviour.
While Suarez is the latest player to have his name up in the headlines for all of the wrong reasons, he is by no means the first.
From rugby league, ice hockey and even basketball, players have been caught up in the moment and lashed out in the most primal of ways.
While the Liverpool forward looks set to spend a significant time on the sideline despite his apology, where does he rank amongst the rest?
Perhaps the most famous incident of biting of all time was by former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson against Evander Holyfield on June 28, 1997.
Tyson chomped down and actually removed part of Holyfield’s ear, and unsurprisingly, was disqualified from the bout, fined $3 million and banned.
