**Ancil Elcock** (born 17 March 1969) is a Trinidadian former professional footballer.[1] He played for [Major League Soccer](/source/Major_League_Soccer) team [Columbus Crew](/source/Columbus_Crew) between 1997 and 2001 (130 games and 7 goals), and for [Tobago United](/source/Tobago_United). He got 69 caps for the [Trinidad and Tobago national team](/source/Trinidad_and_Tobago_national_football_team) between 1994 and 2004.[2] Ancil Elcock became infamous for fracturing Mexican forward [Cuauhtémoc Blanco](/source/Cuauht%C3%A9moc_Blanco) in a World Cup qualification match.[3]

Elcock is the older cousin of [Stern John](/source/Stern_John), whom he recruited to the Columbus Crew while tenured there.

## Blanco's Injury

On 8 October 2000, [Trinidad and Tobago](/source/Trinidad_and_Tobago_national_football_team) contested a [World Cup](/source/2002_FIFA_World_Cup) qualification match against [Mexico](/source/Mexico_national_football_team). The match was played in Mexico City at the [Estadio Azteca](/source/Estadio_Azteca) and the referee was Carlos Batres Gonzalez. In the 72nd minute, Elcock slide-tackled [Cuauhtémoc Blanco](/source/Cuauht%C3%A9moc_Blanco) hitting him on the knee as he received the ball in the penalty area. Referee Gonzalez determined the tackle to be of excessive force and called for a penalty and ejected Elcock by showing him a direct red card, even though Elcock had previously received a yellow in the game. The penalty was taken and scored by [Víctor Ruiz](/source/V%C3%ADctor_Ruiz_(Mexican_footballer)) resulting in the final score of the game 7–0 in favor of [Mexico](/source/Mexico_national_football_team).[4][3]
