I've just come across this guy. He played professionally for Reading and Cardiff for 4 seasons in the 70s. George Best has got nothing on him! Hard playing, hard drinking and hard as fck to pull metal spikes out of his body. Despite his short playing career and retiring at 25 he is in both Reading and Cardiff all time legends lists and was regarded at the time as good enough to play for England if he could get his life straight.

Amongst all his exploits this one makes him a Palace legend:
The Londoner returned to the team for the away match at Brighton & Hove Albion on 29 October 1977, with Cardiff once again in the relegation zone, in 20th place on goal difference.[102]
Friday was marked during the game by Mark Lawrenson, who so frustrated the Cardiff forward with his close attention that Friday waited for Lawrenson to attempt a slide tackle and then kicked him in the face.[11] After receiving a red card, Friday left the ground with the game still going on; according to legend, before leaving he broke into the Brighton dressing room and defecated in Lawrenson's kit bag.
:lux:
Apparently there's going to be a film made this year too, hope the Lawrensen scene is in it..
