Duncan Ferguson playing for Glasgow Rangers was jailed for assaulting Raith Rovers John McStay during a game in 1994.
There was also a Barrow player in an F.A.Cup game a few years ago.

There will be one going to court soon from a local women's match in which one player stamped on another's head from a dispute over a throw in! Player's jaw was broken, police were called and took assailant away.
