I played at a good amateur level from the mid 70´s to the late 90´s. I was regarded as the best tackler in the team as a midfield ball winner.
I usually block tackled and stayed on my feet , sliding in meant you took longer to recover to affect the flow of play.
In nearly 25 years I only made 2 tackles where I jumped in with both feet. I am embarrassed to say both those tackles were made by me in retribution from earlier incidents which resulted in my team mates being injured from other bad tackles.
I went in 2 footed with the intent of hurting the other player. I only got booked for both of them but i deserved a red card.
In my opinion 2 footed tackles are a red card offence ,and should be written in the rule books so everyone understands. - from a bbc reader.
