The 1962 World Cup Finals and a match between the hosts Chile and Italy which would become much known as "The Battle of Santiago". Yes this game is going way back in time but it could also have been added to memorable moments and brutal/violent blog as well as it covers all categories.

A very young looking David Coleman suggests that it is the worst thing that he has ever seen - well, it certainly is not the same as watching an English game of cricket on a Sunday afternoon with a glass of wine in one hand and a cucumber sandwich in the other and cheering "bravo" after each shot. 

It was probably because of the media coverage that this game had worldwide that made it stand out as I am sure there were many other flash points even back then and further back. But being a World Cup game and all the hype around it this is the game that shocked the world and we entered into an era of new found violence on the pitch that at times is still found today.
