Football fisticuffs on film — the best team-mate punch-ups

• Kieron Dyer v Lee Bowyer. Need we say more?

• Here's a classic from the good old days at West Ham. Eyal Berkovic lies injured, John Hartson tries to help, Berkovic slaps Hartson on the shins, Hartson boots Berkovic in the teeth.

• A Sweden training session and Freddie Ljungberg has just skipped clear of Olof Mellberg ...

• Bruce Grobbelaar isn't happy with Steve McManaman's defending. Face pushing ensues.

• Real Madrid's Thomas Gravesen gets cross with Robinho. Robinho, pretty sensibly, gets out of the way sharpish.

• The pressure of preparing for a World Cup qualifier against San Marino gets to Spain team-mates Vicente Rodríguez and Carles Puyol.

• "Calma Masc ..." After a couple of tasty challenges, Javier Mascherano tells his Corinthians team-mate to meet him in the car park. And, also in Argentina, Carlos Tevez fights Marquinhos. Very slowly.

• And if footy fights just aren't enough, here's a couple of Australians and a selection of Americans going at it. No6 is particularly worth hanging around for.
