Italian Site Compile 'Dirtiest Footballers XI' And Guess Who's Holding Down The Midfield?

Italian football website Calciatori Brutti have compiled an XI in of what directly translates from Italian to English as "the team most wicked and ignorant of all time", (although a closer translation is the dirtiest footballers XI) and there is a very familiar face at centre-mid.

Yes, alongside Genaro Gattuso and Nigel De Jong in a three man midfield is former Manchester United captain and current Republic of Ireland assistant manager Roy Keane.

Keane takes his place in the side with the likes of Marco Materazzi, Pepe, Luis Suarez, and Diego Costa, but should anyone feel that Keano has been hard done by, the accompanying video makes it rather difficult to make that argument.

Here is the XI in full:

GK: Oliver Kahn

RB: Jaap Stam
CB: Marco Materazzi
CB: Pepe
LB: Paulo Montero

CM: Genaro Gattuso
CM: Roy Keane
CM: Nigel De Jong

RW: Eric Cantona
LW: Luis Suarez
ST: Diego Costa

Subs: Joey Barton, Paulo Di Canio, Vinnie Jones, Marc Van Bommel, Graeme Souness, Patrick Vieira.

Yikes. That's some company.

To be fair to Calciatori Brutti, the list certainly isn't a million miles off, although we feel big Jaap Stam may have been hard done by? All the clips in the video are him reacting to other players being twats, which is something Stam never shied away from.

And sure Roy is lovely anyway...

That bench as well... Training would certainly be interesting.
