Despite being one of the most talented players in the world for the past decade, Luis Suarez is also one of the most controversial, and his on-field behaviour means that nobody could ever see the Uruguayan international as a decent role model.
Even the tournament that saw him rise to prominence – the 2010 World Cup – saw him embroil himself in controversy, as he handled the ball in the Quarter-Finals against Ghana to prevent a goal. He was sent off, but Uruguay went through on penalties, causing him to celebrate like he’d won an Olympic gold medal. From there Suarez simply went from one controversy to another.
An incident while playing for Ajax in late 2010 saw him bite an opposing player – he was fined and suspended by his club, and the Dutch KNVB suspended him for seven games. During the suspension a transfer to Liverpool was agreed, and while he was brilliant on the pitch for the Reds, his two biggest controversies came during his time at Anfield.
