Battle of the Infamous Footballers

LongHopCassidy

International Captain
Allsports battle was admittedly a flop (too broad, obscure murderers with an unfair advantage over well-publicised ****s). So let's take a more laser-focused approach.

Starting after 48 secondings. You, the discerning voter, are entitled to unlimited nominations but five secondings. Votes to be on gut and not careful jurisprudence.

Nominate:

Craig Bellamy
Pablo Di Canio
Franck Ribery
Roy Keane
John Terry
Zlatan Ibrahimovic
Diego Maradona
Cristiano Ronaldo

Let's get this rolling.

Toni Schumacher for that foul on Battiston in the 1982 WC.

EDIT
Just seen that he's already been nominated

Gerd Muller. Nice enough bloke by all accounts, but he pissed me off no end in the early 1970s.
