    The telegraph this week published their "Dirtiest Footballers Ever in the Premier League XI" (see below)

    So who would be on your list from days gone by (including those that graced a City shirt)?

    Telegraph XI
    Peter Schmeichel
    Danny Mills - Jonas Olsson - Martin Keown - Ben Thatcher
    Joey Barton - Paul Scholes - Patrick Viera - Lee Catermole
    John Fashanu - Diego Costa

    Yes agree - I think I would have gone for Keane before Scholes

    Mike Thresher...only because he would always be covered in mud arising from his famous sliding tackles, he was always "DIRTY" our Mike...legend!

    Vinnie Jones doesn't feature?
    His thuggery was the only quality he brought to the game.

    Not sure that many of the names listed were dirty,- hard yes, but they played in a different era. Today the likes of Chopper Harris and Norman Hunter wouldn't last 5 minutes if they played the same way, so the game had adapted.

    For us, Gerry Gow, I always considered pretty fearsome.

    Nobby Stiles is a name to add to the list though

    You could add Shearer.
    Tommy Smith (Liverpool)
    John Giles (more subtle than Bremner but just as 'dirty')
    Thresher, Souness, Mackay, Harris, Storey, Dicks, Keane....
    Duncan Ferguson
    Francis Lee could put it about
    Most Leeds players under Revie

    Francis lee- known as lee wun pen-

    I remember the sending off with Norman Hunter- Absolute classic!

    Despite his reputation, I think I am right in saying that this was the only time he got sent off prior to joining us ( got sent off 3 times then)
