Hard men?

[Billy Death]

OK so it's a bit slow tonight. I found this quite amusing.

Half of them couldn't kick my arse ower the garden gate.

A few could mind, lol.

How can Vinnie Jones be in there? A certain Mr Kevin Ball warned him once in the tunnel that he was going to get him and jonesy to his credit admitted he was terrified to come in our half.

Hardest man I ever saw was Tommy Smith for Liverpool. A bag of cement on legs.

To be fair Gil... Bally is nails... And a cracking bloke too by all accounts (signed my SAFC shirt in Fushburn club back when he was captain)

John Kay mate.

Hard as an anvil.

Bally is a top bloke, a legend. Used to get in Little Italy at Seaburn regularly for a nosebag.

We've had some hard men at SAFC in my time.

K Ball (well-hard legend)
B Whitehurst (hard, but crap)
M Harford (hard, less crap than Whitehurst)
J Kay (my leg hurts a bit)
D Smith (chuck me in the pool then...)

To name but a few.

Shaun Elliot.

One of my boyhood heroes.

Very underrated too.

 

[Albert's Chip Shop]

The boys from the 60's with the big clogging boots were the real hard men. Think Leeds.

Robbie Savage? Just because he picked up a lot of bookings it doesn't make him hard!

Greame Souness (I know he wasn't exactly a player from the 60s, but he was still in a tougher era than today)

The funny thing about that is he was in possession of the ball when he made the tackle!!

Aye he could handle himself, I'll give you that.

Cattermole

Difference between being hard and acting hard. Same goes for Barton.

 

[reginald-cheese]

Can't think of a single hardman in the premier league now.

 

[its been fun thanks :)]

I remember some of these players
http://bleacherreport.com/articles/...men-the-whos-who-of-the-hardest-men-in-soccer

Norman 'bites your legs' Hunter in particular

 

[The Strawberry Syrup Man]

hardmen of the modern era? Can't really think of many. Gattuso? Neil Lennon? <erm>

Gattuso.

Ex Glasgow Rangers.

Nasty Italian ****er.

 

[PGFWhite]

They are all pussys.

Norman Hunter, Billy Bremner, Ron Harris, Tommy Smith - now u'r talking!

 

[Nostalgic]

It wasn't all defenders either; Dennis Law, Frannie Lee, Mike Summerbee and more recently Mark Hughes left their mark on a few players.

Aye horrible little player but like most of the 'hard men' on that list could play as well! Guess Keane and Vieira were hard men of sorts.
