Guest BirdonaMaguire Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 We haven't had any proper hard men for about 20 odd years.....some of the names capable of making this list will make me cry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@owlstalk Posted March 8, 2013 Author Share Posted March 8, 2013 We haven't had any proper hard men for about 20 odd years.....some of the names capable of making this list will make me cry. That's kinda what prompted this thread - I was struggling to think of anyone who just totally owned midfield over the last ten or twenty years Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BirdonaMaguire Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 We haven't had any, no mesters who would get stuck in with the ball and oppostion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chriss Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 The opposition, always. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thailand owl Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Got to go back as far as Carlton for me although he was not in the Roy Keane or Souness mould i suppose but a great ball winner and his legs we're everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thailand owl Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Mis read the OP but i can't think of another 2 in my lifetime. Semedo maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DesWalker Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Graham Hyde? Loved a tackle. Didn't have the physical presence, but in terms of ball winning midfielders and putting himself about he's up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lincowl Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Semedo surely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor Duran Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 you could probably aim this at most clubs and they would struggle. Midfield Hardmen do not exist any more.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bannofan Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Megson liked to leave his foot in The two Jeffs, Johnson & King could clogg with the best of them Not really a hardman, but I remember Craig Armstrong taking Paul Merson out of the game with a late tackle against Portsmouth in one match. It just seemed to be his one reason for being on the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 (edited) I'll trump that with Petter Rudi, I will double trump you Wim Jonk Stop trumping! It's Ronnie Wallwork innit?! Edited March 8, 2013 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyingOwl Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Glenn Whelan liked a dirty challenge or two. Ronnie Walkwork was nasty, in prison now isn't he? I wouldn't say Semedo is a 'hard man' to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
