The former Red Devils and Newcastle player left Dean Heffernan sprawled out on the pitch with a vicious elbow during a memorial clash
Ex-Manchester United star Keith Gillespie took a friendly match far too seriously as he left an opponent needing hospital treatment in Australia.
Gillespie, who came up through the United academy and was sold to Newcastle in the deal that brought Andy Cole to Old Trafford in 1996, featured for a Legends XI in a game organised as a tribute to late former West Ham youngster Dylan Tombides.
But the former Northern Ireland international cast a shadow over the charity match with a nasty assault on rival Dean Heffernan.
