Former Rugby League Players - what are they remembered for...??

[Bring back John Fifita]

Pub talk with mates got us thinking...

Many former rugby league players have had very long careers in the NRL, ARL, NSWRL etc..... Some very distinguished... but despite their feats on the field over a long period of time they are generally remembered for one particular event. Sadly most aren't for feats of greatness (eg Scott Sattler, Steve Jackson)....rather....

What infamous events do you remember particular players for?
