Football is a physical sport that often ended promising careers.

Roy Keane’s evil revenge from Alf-Inge Haaland

Career ended: Alf-Inge Haaland

Age of retirement: 31

When: April 2001

What: knee injury

Revenge can be lethal and we have the fall-out between Alf-Inge Haaland and Roy Keane to prove it. Four years past Alf’s criticism for Keane faking injury, the latter took his revenge that would set path for the former’s retirement. After Keane’s revelation of his intentions in his autobiography, he was banned for 5 matches and a fine of £150,000. Ever since, Haaland has maintained his stand that he lost his career due to Keane. In his words: 'Did that tackle end my career? Well, I never played a full game again, did I? It seems like a great coincidence, don't you think?'
