Ska Junkie Posted April 14, 2023 Report Share Posted April 14, 2023 (edited) Terry Hurlock was a sneaky bastard back in the day. For us, I'd say Mark Aizlewood. I always remember him rugby tackling Trevor Francis at Hillsborough. Mick Hartford was plain 'hard'. Gerry Sweeney could dish it out but so could most back then.

Red Shadow Posted April 14, 2023 Report Share Posted April 14, 2023 Alex Munro, dirty gas bastard. Broke his leg at AG in Glos Cup 1968 after colliding with the pitch side seats in front of the old enclosure after sliding in on Chris Crowe trying to clatter him. Karma. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Offside Posted April 14, 2023 Report Share Posted April 14, 2023 Luis Suarez always came across as being thoroughly nasty. Billy Sharpe springs to mind as well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanterne Rouge Posted April 14, 2023 Report Share Posted April 14, 2023 As previously mentioned, Ian Alexander. Absolutely no skill whatsoever, just a thug in a clown shirt. Another one from that side who was just as dirty but much more sneaky with it was Vaughan Jones. The modern day legend that is Chris Kamara could put it about a bit too back in the day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you were a centre back in your playing days, so perhaps picked up on these things, but I never considered him a dirty, devious or nasty player.

Probably accentuated because he’s the player you least expected it of, but he had a nasty side. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a myth that tackle ended Haalands career as it was a previous injury to the opposite knee that ended it. He even took Keane to court over it which Keane won due to it not being the leg Keane made contact with. A disgraceful tackle all the same though.

redysteadygo Posted April 15, 2023 Report Share Posted April 15, 2023 Not seen any mention of Bobby Etheridge a wing half who put it about in Mike Thresher's day. He was just dirty, not a hard man, who's language was appalling. Remember back in the 50s watching City train on the car park behind the Grand Stand and every other word was effin and jeffin. He was also Glos back up wicket keeper to Barrie Meyer who came to City via the Gas and Cardiff. He turned to umpiring and holds a rather obscure record as being the only player to score a goal against Man Utd and umpire in a test match. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh Louie louie Posted April 17, 2023 Report Share Posted April 17, 2023 One of my fave John sitton stories, 3 games into his Chelsea career he kicked Frank Worthington, who turned around and said, you been in the game 5 minutes and you fing kick me? John then called him a long haired northern so and so, at the next corner Frank hit him in the temple with his elbow and John was out cold for ten minutes!

Bergkamp was a great player though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
