- Alf Inge Haaland ( April 21, 2001, Mau vs Man C)
Roy Keane’s knee-high horror lunge on the Norwegian in the Manchester derby earned him a red card, a five-game suspension and a £150,000 fine.
Keane later revealed in his autobiography that it was premeditated revenge after he suffered a season-ending injury while trying to foul Haaland, then at Leeds, in a match four years earlier.
After numerous attempts at a comeback, Haaland was forced to accept retirement in July 2003.
