Infamous football moments recreated by children

Cantona's ‘Kung-Fu’ kick

Eric Cantona's kung-fu kick on a fan in 1995 took his notoriety to a whole new level. Known for his petulant behaviour and famed for his arrogance, Cantona responded to Crystal Palace fan Matthew Simmons' taunts after being sent off by launching a flying kick at him and then going on to trade blows with him.

It resulted in a ban for Cantona that lasted the rest of the season, he was also slapped with a fine for the same incident. Fans of the player defended him citing Simmons’ criminal past. Nonetheless, Cantona's reaction was over the top and will be lived down as a black mark on his illustrious Manchester United past.

Mario Balotelli's 'Why Always Me’ celebration

Mario Balotelli has risen to popularity more for his antics than his work on the field. Others may argue that his celebration for Italy after scoring for them at the 2012 Euro Cup takes the cake but this one is right up there as one of his best celebraptions and perhaps antics on the pitch.

He has been at the end of criticism from several quarters regarding everything from his performances to his activities off the pitch. In typical Mario Balotelli fashion, the Italian responded in the Manchester derby after scoring against their rivals and pulling up his jersey over his head and revealing a t-shirt below that read "Why Always Me".

If there was reaction that typified Mario Balotelli, this was it.
