4. Swedish player sent off for letting rip

In June 2016, Adam Lindin Ljungkvist, a Swedish footballer, was sent off for letting rip.

It is unknown if Lindin had an upset stomach prior to the Swedish seventh-tier match pitting Jarna SK's B-team against Pershagen SK.

However, the referee still went on to send off the player, much to the surprise of many.
