After Ireland missed out on the World Cup at the hands of Thierry Henry, inthenews.co.uk looks at some of the worst culprits of the art of the handball in recent footballing history.
Full story: Henry blames referee for Ireland handball.
Newcastle United defender Steven Taylor gave his best Platoon impression when he tried to claim Darius Vassell's goal-bound shot had struck his chest, not his arm.
He may be the world's best footballer but Lionel Messi proved himself a bit of a chip off the old Argentinean block when his goal against Espanyol, which stood, seemed to have more than a hint of handball about it.
Paul Scholes might be more well known for his terrible tackling in the autumn of his career, but he once fancied himself as a bit of a volleyball star.
Scholes' former team-mate Cristiano Ronaldo did his soft-touch reputation no favours with a slightly effeminate handball against Manchester City.
No infamous handball video compilation could be complete however without the handball that all others are defined by. Ladies and gentlemen, Mr Diego Maradona.
