    With these incidents in mind we were wondering what have been your most memorable sporting spats? Lee Bowyer and Kieron Dyer coming to blows in 2005 springs to mind, particularly as they were Newcastle team-mates at the time.

    There was more in-house confrontation when Arsenal's Emmanuel Adebayor and Nicklas Bendtner clashed in the 5-1 League Cup defeat at Tottenham in 2008, while older viewers will recall Kevin Keegan and Billy Bremner squaring up in the 1974 Charity Shield.

    Cricket fans of a certain vintage will remember Javed Miandad launching at Dennis Lillee with his bat in 1981, and more recent football examples include David Batty and Graeme Le Saux. So what have been the ones that stand out for you? Please send them in to #sportingspats.
