Is there a worse penalty than a red card in soccer?
Not at the time of the match, though a red card generally leads to a ban from one or more of the subsequent matches. Players have had formal legal assault/ABH/GBH charges filed against them by the police in the past.
Duncan Ferguson was actually jailed several years ago for headbutting an opponent on the field of play. You can see why a headbutt is known as a "Glaswegian Kiss". Sent down for three months according to wiki.
Quite amusing reading that entry. There have been two attempted burglaries on Ferguson's houses and he's captured (or hospitalised) the burglars on both occasions! Not somebody to mess around with!
But I must say everyone knows the best Kung Fu kick by a footballer was Monsieur Cantona's.
