Joseph Bonnel (4 January 1939 – 13 February 2018)[1] was a French football midfielder who represented France in the FIFA World Cup 1966. He scored three goals during the 1966 season.
Bonnel injured the English goalscorer Jimmy Greaves in the group stages of the 1966 World Cup, causing Greaves to require 14 stitches in his leg and miss all further appearances in the competition, including his possible appearance in the final where his replacement Geoff Hurst scored a hat-trick.[2]
