Whenever I see a pic of Shiner, I think he's one not to mess with. I believe that photo to be taken at the start of the 1955-56 season. Those thirteen players formed the backbone of the squad that won the Division 2 Championship. Roy Shiner played in all 42 League games and scored 33 goals. Broadbent and Froggatt each played in 41 games, four played in over 30 games each, and the other four played in more than 20 games each. That was when tackling was often life threatening and men were men. So pick your hard man (or men) out of that lot. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blatter Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Anybody remember Alan Warboys. (Coco) Came to Wednesday from a career as a coal miner. Always tried to flatten the opposition keeper at every opportunity. Not much of a centre forward but a tough battler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buxtongent Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Norman Curtis would take some beating. Only small for a full back, but ferocious in the tackle.Used to bounce back like one of those Subutteo players. Only ver saw him stay down once, and that was when he brooke his lg.

WMJ4ever Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Most of that side of Wilko's were hard as nails, running for hours across Stanage, with Tony Toms kicking 'em into shape and scaring 'em into not rolling around on the pitch waiting for a magic sponge from him.. Lyons was King though as has rightly been acknowledged already.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unkastav Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Not a ‘hard man’ but the way Loovens adapted his game to basically just swinging his boot at opposition was funny at times, not funny at others 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petrie18 Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 From recent years, Chris O'Grady and that American defender, Gooch?, spring to mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trotter Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 After Mick Lyons, I'd go with Lawrie Madden or Jeff King. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PuntItLikeDielna Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 From my time, O'Grady, Antonio, Semedo, Reda, Jones and Fletch are all pretty solid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
