Bernabé "Berny" Peña (born 19 October 1980 in Carrillo) is a Costa Rican football player, who currently plays for Platense. Known as the "Axeman" or "Hachero", he is also well known for telling an 18-year-old player that if he did not handle playing with men, he should play in the U-18 after stepping on the young man's face.[citation needed] Currently holds the record for the soccer player with the most alimony debts in the Costa Rican soccer history.[citation needed] He also has an incredible stat of seeing a red card every 3 games he plays, sometimes including the 2-game suspension.[citation needed]
When asked about his brutal way of playing, he once replied "You have never seen any of my rivals die after one of my fouls, so I don't see where is the dirty playing people talk about".
