Reminds me of the classic Dean Windass tackle when he was with Bradford. Nice finish from Bonnie Langford there too. Apparently she's only 47, how the fcuk is that possible?

The one against for dumfermline wasn't a foul, and there seems to be a lot of red cards given out for reasonable tackles, but being a bit agressive looking. At the same time, there's a few nasty ones that don't even get a yellow.

Interesting to read that Martin O'Neill was his Manager at Wycombe at the time and he stripped him of the club captaincy, banned him from the ground for a week and fined him seven days' wages. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/fa_cup/1213653.stm
