I was considering posting this after witnessing young Harry's 'industrial' but fair tackle that took out two QPR players, oddly scouring my memory for a centre back for this particular team I thought of the mighty John Roberts only to see today he has died at the tragically young age of 69.
So in honour of him I put forward the following to make up the toughest team ever to have played for City.
McGregor
Whitney Davison
J Roberts J Whittle
Simmo. Ashbee Brabin McGill
Chillo Whitehurst

Maybe not the most skilful or pacy but what opponent would risk their career or life venturing past the half way line up against that lot .

John Roberts RIP

I'd put Ken Knighton on the sub's bench...quite tough he was.
 
I was very young when Dennis Burnett played for City but wasn't he fairly hard?
