8. Leonel Sanchez

Sanchez earned his place after playing the lead role in the ‘battle of Santiago’, widely regarded as one of the dirtiest matches in the history of the world cup. During Chile’s 1962 group 2 clash with Italy the bad feeling was so intense that the first foul occurred after 12 seconds and the first sending off after just 12 minutes!

The English referee Ken Aston had already overlooked one outrageous punch by Sanchez on Italian Mario David when Sanchez inexplicably turned to Italian captain Humberto Maschio and promptly knocked him out in one punch.
