Football GIF: Ian Harte’s Amazing Slapstick Prat Fall vs Aston Villa
By Chris Wright
Remember Ian Harte? From 1997? Well he’s still playing in the Premier League somehow, for Reading no less, and despite being from a bygone era, he’s still obviously savvy to the crazes of today’s footballing youth – take his attempt at “contact anticipation/simulation” against Villa for example…

Charlie Chaplin would’ve been proud of that one. The technique is Bale-level flawless but the timing’s still a little off. Perhaps wait until there’s someone within a 10 metre radius of you next time Ian!
