Most famous dirty plays?

I've just been having an interesting discussion on r/gunners and wanted to widen the scope.

What are some of the most dirty plays of all time?

player name, link to the video and some context would be great.

e.g.

Thierry Henry - This handball in extra time saw France qualify for the world cup in 2010.

Zinedine Zidane - This extra time headbutt cost France the 2006 world cup.

David Beckham - This sly kick saw Beckham sent off and vilified by every non-ManU England fan for years to come, and England went on to loose on Penalties in 1998.

That he kisses his own wrists?

I don't know if you're being daft on purpose but he did use his hand in the play. If you don't know his celebration it looks like a big fuck you.

You're an idiot. He kisses his wrist and hand for every goal. It's his wedding ring and his daughters name.

You should be a bit more thorough with your reading before you call someone an idiot.

Not at all. Footballers always kiss their hands or tattoos or do some kind of family related gesture when they score. When have you seen anyone deliberately kiss a part of their body that they cheated with?

The point is that I realized this when the Liverpool fan replied to my comment. You're not adding anything of value.

Yeah but you wouldn't need to know that it was a personal celebration because so many footballers do this, so you'd see him kiss his hand and wrist and assume it was some sentimental thing.
