Round 1 Winner

The first weekly winner of this series of The Chad Medal by unanimous verdict is Kevin Muscat.Lets take a trip down memory lane to see the sort of efforts that have resulted in him winning.

Muscat was dubbed the "most hated man in football " by then Birmingham City player Martin Grainger in 2000. He seriously injured both Welsh twat Craig Bellamy and French softcock Christophe Dugarry ( who granted are both fucking pillows and probably deserving of a flogging),the latter in a "friendly" international between Australia and France in 2001 with a sliding tackle from behind.Being French, Dugarry's first response at being attacked was to surrender,the second was to try to find the shattered fragments of his knee. The French manager Roger Lemerre dubbed the tackle "an act of brutality".

In 2004, a lawsuit on Muscat brought by former Charlton Athletic player Matty Holmes resulted in a settlement of 250,000 pounds plus costs in favour of Holmes, bringing the estimated settlement to around 750,000 pounds. Holmes had to have four operations on his leg following a tackle by Muscat in 1998, and there were initial fears that his leg might have to amputated.The claim was settled at the High Court without Muscat admitting any liability for being a filthy cunt. In a League Cup tie while at Millwall , he grabbed the throat of Liverpool striker Milan Baros. Also in 2004, Iwan Roberts admitted he deliberately stamped on Muscat in a match against Norwich City in revenge for his attempt to injure Craig Bellamy in 1999. Roberts was subsequently fined and suspended by the Football Association for his comments. However later both the fine and suspension were rescinded due to the fact the recipient of the stamping was a sociopathic meathead, and Roberts was awarded a well earned OBE for services to sport.

In December 2005, he was the first A-League player to appear before the FFA disciplinary hearing and was subsequently suspended for two matches for "violent conduct". At an A-League game in October 2006 Muscat clashed with then Adelaide United coach John Kosmina, knocking Kosmina from his chair and stabbing him 20 times with a shiv concealed in his sock while retrieving the ball. Kosmina responded by grabbing Muscat by the throat,an action for which Kosmina later received both a four week suspension and the key to the city of Adelaide.

In October 2010, Aston Villa winger Ashley Young recalled he was threatened by Muscat during his first professional match as an 18 year old. " Kevin Muscat said he would break my legs if I went past him " said Young. Their meeting occurred as they were warming up for an encounter between Watford F.C. and Millwall back in September 2003, but not surprisingly Muscat was sent off before Young came on as a substitute for Watford.

And last, but certainly not least, in January 2011 Muscat was suspended for eight matches following a tackle on Melbourne Heart player Adrian Zahra in an A-League fixture. The tackle was widely condemned in Australia and around the world, with former Socceroo Mark "Charlie Sheen" Bosnich calling it a disgrace.The Sun described it as one of the worst tackles in football history and Goal.com said Muscat is one of the world's dirtiest footballers. Even Vinnie Jones said "oooh fuck me" when viewing the footage.

So after a career of being a sadistic fucking lunatic there is little more to say than Kevin Muscat you are a worthy winner of this week's Chad. Some may reflect on your career as that of a hard, tough player, but the majority will agree with former England striker Ian Wright when he described you as little more than a lowlife and a nobody.
