If your going with football players getting kick down below you gotta get Vinnie Jones' picture. The movie that got him kicked out of playing football.
So Great Vinnie Jones is the man.
"He first came to public notice as a professional footballer, playing in the English Football League. Noted as one of soccer's hard men, he leapt to fame when a photographer at a match snapped him "marking" Newcastle United's Paul Gascoigne by grabbing his testicles."
