DTotD: Classic: Graeme Souness stabs a defender with his boot

From Graeme Souness' player-manager days at Rangers we have another example of how to clear defenders out of your way in a blatantly violent and ill-advised way. As the defender got dangerously close to his ball, Souness delivered a devastatingly stompy kick to his inner thigh, then immediately tried to divert the watching referee's attention to a discoloration on the back of his sock. It didn't work, though.

This does make you wonder who chews out the player-manager for assaulting an opponent. It would be too easy to just sit in his office and yell at a mirror, so I like to think the kit man has inflated authority in situations like this.
