I don’t recall this incident and it doesn’t sound like Deano, but he was a hard bastard so it is possible.

It was on Frank Bunce and there was nothing hard bastard about it. The UK press didn't remark on it all but then had a collective meltdown when something similar happened to Phil DeGraville on a tour later the same year (by Jamie Joseph IIRC). They even brought in the Chariots of Fire writer to write an inflammatory article about it - yep, he's as shit at sports writing as he is at scripting.

@Tim I did not know this incident so searched for video without success, but found this instead of a french ref taking out a spectator who head butted him!

@Daffy-Jaffy Wow!

The first thing that came to my mind was Welshman Jim Mills stomping on Kiwi John Greengrass's head in a 1975 League test.

Was it Ashworth on JPR? That was less than ordinary.

Richard Loe was a grub.

1. Trying to scratch out Greg Cooper's eyes in a NPC game

2. Breaking Paul Carozza's nose in a Bled test

Err ... you realise that was it your own post you were quoting?

That was brilliant !

I haven't seen anything to cap the Keane incident yet. A deliberate attempt to permanently maim someone, successfully ending their career. That's next-level cuntiness.

Who was the proper mental English lad who very deliberately bent that guys arm around a ruck?

Fuuuuck.
But that's more a powerbomb, than a DDT... just saying.
I've heard. Not that I'd ever deign to actually attend a WrestleMania, or nothing.

@Tim after the initial shock of the tackle my thoughts went to how light weight all the players look compared to modern players.

[Tim]

Some of the old league spear tackles were shockers.

For an NBA spin, Kareem was always good for a laugh

@Tim The commentators didn't agree it was a spear tackle. lol

[Tim]

@Nepia I was disappointed that they didn't say that he "was in disneyland" when he got up and played the ball the wrong way.

Didn't land on his shoulder. All good.

@Daffy-Jaffy

What a bunch of pussies the players were. Should have given that spectator a good shoeing rather than leave it to the Ref.
