Andy Haden
Andy Haden is a former New Zealand rugby union player, renowned for his role as a lock and his controversial antics on the field. He played a significant part in the All Blacks' historic victories during the late 1970s, but he is perhaps best remembered for his infamous dive out of a lineout during a match against Wales in 1978, which ultimately led to a penalty that secured a win for New Zealand. This incident sparked debates about sportsmanship, honor, and the lines between clever play and cheating.
