That headline should have been “both keepers have their arms broken”. Never seen a bigger thug on the pitch than Smith.
I’ve seen a few on par and one way worse. Lee Hughes at Notts County and Lee Thorpe ex Lincoln used to get away with all sorts.
Worst of all times for me was/is Sam Aiston left winger for Shrewsbury when he steamed into Gareth Sheldon, no intention to play the ball and jumped off the floor two footing him snapping his leg in two. This tackle if committed today would get a lengthy ban, no doubt the worst I’ve ever seen live or on tv.
The ref had clear view very much seeing the severity of it with the screams being heard from Sheldon all around the ground
only gave Aiston a yellow card.
Following season he nearly broke his leg again with another needless lunge. Matt Smith had nothing on him.
