thats not crazy. its borderline scary :S

That's right, it was scary.

Convulsion or spasm? That was really out of this world man. I mean kicked in the head, then to do a semi backflip... freaky.... if anyone can source the story, please do post it here. I've seen a goalkeeper kicked in the head, twitch a little before laying still permanently but this is out of this world.

Drunken football anyone? This guy really

Nonsense, he's good!

wat about adrian muthu ex-chelsea player.. drug? crazy?

i guess Edmundo aka 'The Animal' deserve a mention here.

Let me add some more stories....

1. PAUL "GAZZA" GASCOIGNE

Well who doesn't know gazza right? Aiya, easily I can summarize 3 true stories about him that shows you how crazy this guy is:

a. He generously served his dad and Jimmy Five Bellies mince pies.. after scooping out the fillings and replaced it with cat crap

b. While dining in a posh hotel, he placed his erect penis on the shoulder of someone at the next table. Thinking he had been tapped on the shoulder, the man turned around, and was prodded in the cheek by Gazza's chap.

c. Relieved himself (pee) all over a sleeping Richard Gough while at Glasgow Rangers.

And that's without even mentioning the burping on cameras, the flute-playing in an Old Firm derby (insulting the Celtic fans), the inability to say difficult words like 'Senegal', the wife-beating, the fact that he can't go out to training without going back to check the towels are folded.. ah.. what a guy.

2. EDMUNDO

Known simply as 'The Animal'. It began with a smashed TV camera after a Palmeiras match in Ecuador which resulted in the player locking himself in a hotel room for three days to avoid being jailed by the local police. He then earned himself a 120 days ban for slapping the referee Sidrack Marinho, before negotiating a clause in his Fiorentina contract that allowed him to visit nightclubs. But he eventually pushed his luck too far and the Italian club cut their losses after he went missing to party at the Rio Carnival.

Back in Brazil, he started a brawl at a Palmeiras vs Sau Paulo clash by striking the pint-sized Juninho and lashing out at one of the opposing club's directors. After the argument, he said that hitting "half a man" Juninho was so easy that next time he would call his little nephew as "it would be fairer".

He then caused outrage among Brazilian animal rights (being "The Animal") when he borrowed a chimpanzee from the circus to liven up his son's first birthday party and happily posed for photos showing him feeding 'Pedrinho' beer.

He once said, "If they listen to what I say, they might become great players and noble men. If they do what I do, perhaps not." He said that on coaching Vasco's young players in 2003.

The 1970 World Cup centre-forward Dario is remembered in Brazil as the King of Self-Promotion. Having graduated from the Muhammad Ali School of Modesty, he began calling himself Dada Maravilha (which means "Wonder Dada") and was soon speaking about himself in the third person. But it was his quotes about his own greatness that made football folklore:

"I believe in God, but I trust Dada"
"I can't give the bread, so I give the circus"
"Only three things stop in the air: humming birds, helicopters and Dada"

To boost his performance, Dada always masturbated in the dressing room, either before games or at half-time. "It leaves me light like the wind", accoding to the genius.

In 1981,, he claimed that he saw an UFO which caused his marriage and finances to collapse. But the extraterrestrial experience had a different effect on his 'mojo'. "My sex power has just increased" he said. "I have no doubts, seeing a UFO is an aphrodisiac". What a guy.

Already his story told here. But I have a story about him told by Fash (John Fashanu, his team mate at Wimbledon a.k.a. The Crazy Gang):

"We were playing at Luton and Jonesey had 28 of his family coming to watch. Bobby Gould, then the manager said 'Jonesy, you'll be sub.' 'No, I'm playing', he said. Gould says 'Jonesy son, you're sub'. Jones started doing one, 'I don't care, I'm playing! I'm number 10'. Gould calles Jonesy into the rest room and yo know there's going to be a row because Jonesy's neck was going. Gould then says, 'Fash, in here as well'. As I went in, Gould grabs Jonesy and says, 'You ain't playing. All right? You'll do what I tell ya'. So Jonesy, tears in his eyes, grabs Gould and says 'I'm playing, my mum and dad are here.' Don Howe (assistant manager) goes 'OK Jonesy, keep your shirt on, you play'. So out we go. Seventh minute, first tackle, Jonesy on Mick Harford. BOOM! Jonesy sent off."

Dunno if you guys remember him. He used to play for Bolton and looked like a bouncer. Hehehe.. Brought up by his grandmother from the age of 13 after his dad shot his mum then turned the gun on himself, the barrel-chested 5 ft 9 inches Danish international and former forklift truck driver has pierced nipples, full body tattoos and was once a Hell's Angel.

At the 2002 World Cup, he smacked team mate jesper Gronkjaer after the winger objected to having ice poured down his shorts, but that was peanuts compared to what happened when the Danish squad returned home. Seconds after asking a Copenhagen cafe manager to turn down the music so the lads could sing a football song, Stig twatted him. He then followed the manager outside, only to be confronted with by other staffs. A chef was punched, the manager nutted and Tofting was carted off to spend four months in bars.

Tofting was the botak guy right..gravesen's twin brother..haha

n more di meh? i am laughing like hell man.. gazza joke bout the d*** on the shoulder..lol
wonder if it works with chicks..lol

Funny no one mentioned Paolo Di Canio, genius of a player, but eccentric as hell, Once famously stopped playing when he saw an opposition player down injurred, and he was one on one with the keeper as well! Also famour for the shove on Paul Alcock in which you'd see the most theatrical dive ever, by a referee.
As seen here.

In his West Ham days, Harry Rdknapp used to describe him as scary, apparently, he'd come in to training in the morning and went like "Arry, I don't feel good" (put on your best Italian accent and you'll get the drift). Harry would give him the day off. AS Harry puts it, he doesn't want Paolo going into training kicking everyone, as he wasn't in a good mood. Harry explained it as "I don't know what happened, perhaps his wife didn't cook his favourite pasta or something, but boy when he turns up with that kind of look, I'd give him the day off as I don't want him punching my players out".

Absolute mad guy, also famous for his facist salute in Lazio.

Another thing about Gazza, once he turned up to a pub after playing for England in his full England kit, shin pads as well as boots!!!

Also, during one of the world cup, the British station had all the England players do a clip of them mouthing their own name as a "smart thing" to do, so when they introduce the players or feature the players in their program, they can use the clip, Gazza being Gazza, mouth over a swear word (which I believe is dumb C***) and the TV station had to put up with that for the rest of the world cup.

There are too many crazy things that Gazza did, he need his own thread for all the things he did.

I believe this a true story???

correct me if im wrong tho...

holy shit man... lol... gazza is a nutter eh.. i always knew he was kinda nuts.. but never knew he was that nutty..lol... and yeah di canio is kinda nuts as well ..lol

Dude if you think Gazza's bad, you should google Wimbledon's (now MK Dons) "Crazy Gang". They didn't only have one looney, they had a whole team of them!

holy shit..lol... now thats nuts... wonder how the manager coped with them all..lol

you have to do some degree of searching but their stories are well worth the read. there is a book out on them as well.

None of the man utd fans mentioned cantona?

Cantona was once-in-a-while type of guy. Back kick, spitting... not much trouble compared to those listed. And no wonder I keep on scratching my head when watching 60 cos I thought the morgue fella looks damn familiar... tau tau Vinnie Jones

Donno if Antonio Cassano can be labelled as crazy footballers. Wherever he goes he got beef with the man in charge, whatever issue he also wanna have his share in the boh song part... and once he left Roma they go sky high on the charts lol.
