2. ADRIAN BASTIA DECEMBER 2ND 2008 PANATHINAIKOS V ASTERAS TRIPOLIS
Adrian Bastia is an Argentinian midfielder who was playing for Greek side Asteras Tripolis in 2008. His side was holding Greek giants Panathinaikos to a 1-1 draw when towards the end of the match a pitch invader who looks a bit like Marouane Fellaini made his way onto the pitch.
Nobody really likes a pitch invader as you probably know and he seemed to be having his way with the police and leading them on a fair old run around, so Bastia decided to help them out in his apprehension by sticking out a leg and tripping him up. The world applauded, as did the security on the pitch who had been thoroughly embarrassed by the incident.
Unfortunately for Bastia, the referee didn’t see it the same way and decided to send him off for violent conduct. Dang.
