Worst tackle ever?

Haven't seen this one posted before anywhere. The slow motion replay gets me everytime..

"Mullan will be suspended 10 games, matching the longest ban in MLS history, and fined $5,000 for breaking the leg of Steve Zakuani last week with a reckless slide tackle. Mullan will not appeal the decision."

I've seen worse. That was a bad tackle but it wasn't really off the ground and studs weren't showing

I suppose its the loud snapping noise and his leg flopping around in the air that make the tackle seem worse.

not the worst in the world but i absolutely hated seeing a celtic captain doing this.

I've not watched any as I think anything like this is just dreadful.
I remember the Schumacher one from watching the game itself.
Are you sure you can class these as tackles when surely they are just assaults?

Yer right, PP, they are despicable examples of bullies and cowards hiding behind a contact sport to dish out pieces of blatant thuggery. The game should see that these people face a prosecution.
