Alex Kolinko

No, this slap is not something which is embedded into the history books to get such a royal name. In fact, the name isn’t even royal. It signifies the slap that Crystal Palace keeper, Alex Kolinko, had to take from his manager Trevor Francis in October 2002. After laughing at his team conceding a goal, Kolinko was hit around his head, as Francis felt offended. The FA fined Francis 1000 pounds for the incident.
