Wamma! This Dutchman committed more fouls in the Champions League than ANY player in history — and he was PROUD of it! Mark van Bommel turned fouling into an art form. He would kick you, step on your toes, pull your shirt, and then smile at the referee like nothing happened. The dirtiest midfielder in European football history.
Country: Netherlands Position: Central midfielder Career: 1992-2012 Clubs: Fortuna Sittard, PSV, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, AC Milan
The Rap Sheet
- Holds the all-time record for most fouls committed in UEFA Champions League history
- Was booked in the 2010 World Cup Final — the dirtiest final in World Cup history
- Never won a single Fair Play award in his entire 20-year career
- His own teammate Franck Ribéry said van Bommel was the hardest player he ever trained with
- Known for perfectly timed tactical fouls that killed every counter-attack before it started
The Verdict
Van Bommel played for Barcelona, Bayern Munich, and AC Milan — three of the biggest clubs on earth. At every single club, opponents HATED him. He fouled you, smiled at you, and did it again. Zero shame, maximum damage.
Tomorrow: #28 — Stay tuned for the next villain!
