1. Luciano Gaucci
It was the club-versus-country battle Jung Hwan-Ahn could never win, but he was astounded by the reaction to his winner for Korea against Italy in 2002.
The president of his Italian club, Perugia's Luciano Gaucci, decided Ahn had behaved insolently. Gaucci raged: "I am a nationalist and I regard such behaviour not only as an affront to Italian pride but also an offence to a country which two years ago opened its doors to him." 2. Roy Keane
Keane picked a fight with the wrong man before the World Cup began four years ago.
After criticising the Republic of Ireland's training facilities, and hinting that "one or two people" in the party were not to his liking, the Republic skipper took his anger out on coach Mick McCarthy in front of the entire squad. McCarthy, who bore the brunt of an expletive-ridden tirade, later said: "I have never witnessed such an attack from any human being. It was vicious and it was unjust." 3. John Aldridge
The veteran striker wanted in on the World Cup action 12 years ago; a reluctant fourth official was having communication problems with the referee.
The result? A venomous Scouse tongue-lashing and the viperish jabbing of an Aldridge finger at fourth official Renato Marsiglia of Brazil. 4. Alf Ramsey
"We don't swap shirts with animals," was Alf Ramsey's contribution to British-Argentinian relations. It may not have been well received in South America, but his words and England's 1-0 win against Argentina in the 1966 quarter-finals meant Ramsey could do little wrong that summer. 5. Prince Fahid, president of the Kuwaiti FA
The Kuwaiti FA chief was so outraged at France scoring a fourth goal against his country in their 1982 World Cup meeting that he left the stands and entered the pitch.
He approached the referee, remonstrating by claiming the Kuwait players had heard a whistle from the stands and stopped playing, thinking it had come from the man in black.
Russian referee Miroslav Stupar amazingly went along with the prince and disallowed the goal. 6. Luiz Felipe Scolari
The Brazil coach had just seen his players lift the World Cup, and he chose the occasion to lambast the legendary Pele, a frequent critic of his team selection. Scolari said: "Pele knows nothing about football.
He has done nothing as a coach and his analysis turns out to be always wrong.
If you want to win a big title, listen to what Pele says, then do the opposite." 7. Jack Charlton
In the same game as Aldridge's rant, Ireland coach Jack Charlton wrote himself into World Cup legend.
Or at least this list. The jolly Geordie might have been feeling the heat, but when he tried and was refused permission to pass water bottles to his players during the game, he boiled over. 8. Claudio Caniggia
The veteran Argentinian was waiting for his chance to be involved in the 2002 group match against Sweden when he took offence to a decision by referee Ali Bujsaim.
The substitute, sat on the Argentina bench, took offence verbally and loudly unfortunately. "I shouted `son of a bitch' at him and I think he heard some protests," Caniggia admitted after being red-carded.
It led not to his first World Cup suspension - Caniggia missed the 1990 final because of a ban. 9. Johan Cruyff
The silent rant heard the world over, Cruyff's decision to boycott the 1978 World Cup was one largely of actions rather than words, but it had the desired effect of drawing attention to human rights abuses in host country Argentina.
He famously refused to play for Holland - despite the Dutch public campaigning for a change of mind at the finals - because of his and wife Danny's opposition to the tyrannical General Jorge Videla.
Everyone took notice - Cruyff's absence was keenly felt. 10. Diego Maradona
Maradonna had been newly voted - by supporters - FIFA's greatest player of all time. Pele was second - just where Maradona likes him to finish in such polls.
The pair do not get along, and at the 2002 World Cup, Maradona made that quite clear. "Pele is a great politician," said the Argentinian. "Some people say he has had a part in keeping me out of the FIFA family. He can do that if he wants.
He cares about me as much as I don't care about him." |
