#4 Bite on Giorgio Chiellini

If you think 2 bans can stop a player of Luis Suarez’s abilities, think again. In a World Cup game against Italy in 2014, Suarez had a tough time against Juventus centre-half Giorgio Chiellini. With just 10 minutes to go, the 29-year-old decided that he had had enough and lost his head completely, sinking his teeth into the Italian defender’s arm.

The Uruguayan then rolled on to the ground writhing in pain and clutching his teeth after the incident while the Italian players surrounded the referee enraged.

Despite the incident being caught on camera, Suarez denied any wrongdoing. "These are just things that happen out on the pitch. It was just the two of us inside the area and he bumped into me with his shoulder. "

He was awarded a 4-month ban later on by FIFA. However, he did apologise to Chiellini later.
