The worst 'on the field' football brawls

2. Bruce Grobbelaar vs Steve McManaman

1993 Merseyside derby

Liverpool goalkeeper Bruce Grobbelaar was rather vocal about McManaman’s awful clearance.

This was obviously not enough to teach young Steve a lesson as he gave it back to the furious shot-stopper. Grobbelaar decided to settle the matter with a punch to the throat before sending McManaman on his way.

The Zimbabwean was certainly in the mood for a fight and so was McManaman.
