  • From fracturing Gary Mabbutt's skull to facing charges in an alleged betting scandal, 'Gladiator' John Fashanu had a colourful playing career with Wimbledon's Crazy Gang.
    But it was an accidental challenge and not any scandal that brought the curtain down on his days as a professional footballer. It was a 50:50 challenge with Manchester United's Ryan Giggs that ended his football career.
    Here 'Fash the Bash' talks openly in George Best Best and Rodney Marsh's Live Show filmed by Visionsport.TV at the end of the 1994/1995 season.
    06:20 In a lighter hearted moment, George Best compares Fashanu's Wimbledon team-mate Vinny Jones to Arnold Palmer.

    Rewatch the match between Southampton and Spurs at the Dell, where Spurs scored five goals, Ronny Rosenthal with a brace I think, and you will see Bruce Grobbalear doing his upmost to concede as many goals as possible. Like coming 30 yards off his line then making no effort to get back. He and Hans Sagers were exposed by the press when they set them up and recorded it on video.
    As for George Best, I dont think I've ever heard him say anything positive about another human being before.

    Never forget going to see Sunderland play at Wimbledon, early 90's, 2-2 draw. You were right on top of the pitch at the old Plough Lane. We had an 18 year old centre half at the time called Richard Ord and he had Fashanu in his pocket which was really riling him up. A corner came over and Fash deliberately snapped his head back to butt Ordy in the face, split his eyebrow open. As he laid on the ground, Fashanu bent over him, said something and rubbed his finger through the wound before walking away smiling. A few of the team came to the pub that London branch used after the game , Ordy was one of them and he had stitches. He told us what Fashanu said to him as he poked the finger in, I won't repeat it on here as it was a private conversation that we were advised should go no further but suffice to say it was disgusting. It wound up our club Captain Gary Bennett so much that a few minutes after the incident he went through Fashanu like a knife through butter on a 50/50 and he limped off moaning. Benno was one of the nicest characters you could meet (Unless you were David Speedie), it took a lot to wind him up like that. My estimation of 'Fash the Bash' went through the floor that day.

      Cliff fascinating story. Thank you for sharing. When I was a TV reporter for the 6 o clock news in london in the 80s I often went to Wimbledon and experienced first hand the crazy gang. Fashanu was brutal and he also tried to bully the media. I remember he called me one Monday morning after he didn’t like what I said about him in my match report in the previous day’s Sunday mirror. Can’t remember the incident but he was objecting to me saying he was guilty of a bad foul. He was not a person to cross. But I stood my ground. John Gubba.
