Wimbledon:
John Fashanu and Vinny Jones literally ended careers and did their best to cause skull fractures.

Indeed. Vinny Jones effectively ended our own Gary Stevens career with a horrific challenge. It's on Youtube if you can bear it.

The Britos tackle on Knockaert at Watford away in our first PL season was on a par with today's effort.

I think the tackle on Knockaert knocks (see what I did there) the tackle on Mitoma out of the park. The Watford player did a long jump that Greg Rutherford would be proud of before two footing him.

I know Doug Rougvie wasn’t top division with us but saw him do plenty of leg crunching tackles that would have him sent off 2 or 3 times a game now and I’m sure the same when he was Chelsea
