Toughest no nonsense tackler in Wednesday's history ?


Recommended Posts

In my opinion Steve Adams. Again a very under rated player who I don't think we managed to utilise to his full advantage. On his day he was unstoppable, unfortuantely for Wednesday we never saw that day.

Kidding yeah?

This plus Mike Lyons

Should also add Tony Kay

Thing was Curtis, Swan, and Kay all played in the era when you could fly in, even late and take man and ball. They were all real hard men who got stuck in but I think Curtis was the one whose main weapon was intimidation especially with his two footed sliding tackle at full speed. Once saw him against Matthews and after a couple of these tackles Matthews simply didn't want the ball.

Also remember in those days it was hard to get sent off or even booked. As Jack Charlton once said- he would have got sent off in the tunnel before the game started if he was playing now.

Pearson and thome at centre backs, hardest looking defenders iv seen in my time.

Geary used to love chucking himself into tackles, made even funnier by him being 4ft 8"

Reda looks like he could do the most damage of the current lot
