26 Rachid Bouaouzan- Wigan
Wigan's website ofcourse doesn't tell that this "very quick and dangerous winger" was sentenced by Dutch High Court in 2006 to a suspended jail sentence of 6 months for a tackle in a Dutch Premier Division match on dec. 17th 2004 that cleaved the leg of Niels Kokmeijer in two. After 5 surgeries, Kokmeijer finally had to end his career.
Bouaouzan recieved a 10 match ban from the Dutch FA and an additional ban for the rest of that season from his club Sparta Rotterdam.
While the discplicinary case for compensation is still on, the dutch FA decided that Sparta/Bouaouzan had to pay 100.000 euro in advance to Kokmeijer, regardless the outcome.
He was sold to Wigan in aug 2007. His on loan to NEC Nijmegen in the 2008/09 season was ended for "disciplinary reasons" by NEC.
