Hardest Footballers you can remember

[NUFC Tiger]

Graeme Motherf*cking Souness.
View attachment 92208

Souness was so fiery, it rubbed off on his players.

 

[Cruyff14]

Bowyer was a ******* twat.

 

[NUFC Tiger]

Bowyer was a ******* twat.

Souness wasn't much chop (for us) either and neither was Dyer.

Was pretty funny to see both Bowyer and Dyer linking up again at West Ham in their post Toon careers.

 

[Cruyff14]

Bowyer stood on someone didn't he in his Leeds days?

Bowyer stood on someone didn't he in his Leeds days?

Not sure if it was standing on someone but he definitely was involved in the bashing of a (Asian I think) student along with Woodgate and a few others I think back in his leeds days.

The guy was pretty dirty on the field and probably wasn't much different off it either. Mug of a bloke.

Edit: Here's the incident. Disgusting.

David Batty

The one and only Lothar Matthues. His injury late in the 1999 European Cup Final was what cost Bayern.

Stuart 'Psycho' Pearce


Terry Butcher (pre blood rule)

 

[jd2010]

This is how you defend a lead... the beast way!

I dont think Roy Keane was tough . Gustavo Poyet is supposed to have K.O'd him in a tunnel brawl when manU played Chelsea .

More of a nutcase than hard really.

 

[Zidane98]

Harald Schumacher

More of a coward than a hard man.

 

[Zidane98]

Thread needs more Claudio Gentile (ironic name if there ever was one)

 

[Bojan KantKick]

The Butcher of Bilbao whose name I forget lived up to his nickname.

Myth dispelled on radio by Poyet himself. Poyet rated Keane as his toughest opponent too.

Well before my time, but Dave Mackay.

Mick harford..

I heard a pub landlord cracked him over the head with a bat ,causing bleeding..
so harford says.." im going to the hospital to get stitches and then coming back for you" or something like that..
freaked out the bartender .

 

[ilikepotatoes]

Troy Cook.

I know...

 

[Cooldude]

Gayest thread title I can remember, this one

Sol Campbell was hard, ask Vieira

Seriously though, I'm gonna plug Carragher purely for Istanbul, can't feel both his legs and went on for 30 mins stopping everything. Not the "hardest" but one of the toughest ones I know

 

[windyhill]

Why can't I see any ******* pictures.

Because Lauren scared them off.

 

[windyhill]

I'm going Maradona, the amount of "treatment" he copped was unbelievable.

 

[Cruyff14]

Stig Tofting.

The guy was a ******* lunatic.
