Last week, in match that Tottenham Hotspurs on track left his pass to the quarter-finals of the Champions League, there was a Gattuso squabble with the England team coach. The Italian midfielder, very upset during the whole match, he faced Joe Jordan, Harry Redknapp's assistant, and gave him a small header that started a massive brawl on the lawn of San Siro.
Most people who saw the images began hands head thinking "Oh, poor man, as Gattuso touch that man so old and helpless he sent to another neighborhood." But what those people did not know, and perhaps also Gattuso, is that this Joe Jordan was for years one of the toughest players of the moment, among many others playing teams .... In the very AC Milan!

Joe Jordan at the center and Brian Clough on the right. The latter was short
Jordan began playing football in a small team of his native Scotland until, with 19, was claimed by the legendary Leeds United managed by Don Revie (For more information, please see the movie The Damned United ). Joe Jordan on this team could give vent to their highest qualities as a striker was rough, tough, very combative and very dangerous especially in the balls air. Come on, I was a player who went all out, not afraid to put the leg, head or whatever. The spitting image of the powerful of the 70 Leeds. At Elland Road team formed the so-called "Scottish Mafia" with other players and Lorimer, McQueen and especially Billy Bremner, the true soul of the team and named best player in the history of Leeds. This team had not half-measures and training were equally or more official matches played that, and Jordan can attest, as a preparatory session took a big hit in the mouth that knocked out the front teeth, giving the appearance that typical Scottish twist so dear:
Jim Leighton, Joe Jordan and Craig Burley. Sons of Scotland!
Joe Jordan - or Jaws , as it became known since then, in 1981 received an offer from AC Milan, which at that time did not honor or a game or for the results great history of the club. But Jordan decided to join the Rossoneri, one of the most outstanding players of the team in a season of gloomy memories as Milan went down to Serie B. However, the Scot was a major player during his two years in Milan, as evidenced by the fact that it was named one of the 110 most important players in club history.
And for Scotland also fell short. He is the only player in this selection able to score in three different world. Therefore, and for his great commitment and dedication he is known in the islands as "Braveheart Joe" .
With these data in hand, you may be more cautious Gattuso another time, because at one time not too far perhaps Jaws Joe Jordan had eaten Italian rhino.
