No. 10: The Return of Steve Zakuani

Steve Zakuani was only 23 years old when Brian Mullan delivered the tackle heard round Major League Soccer.

On April 22, 2011, the Colorado Rapids were hosting the Seattle Sounders. In just the third minute, Mullan broke Zakuani’s leg, earned a straight red card and received a 10-game suspension from the MLS Disciplinary Committee, the longest ban in MLS history.
