Guest LittleG Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 I think Vic Mobley would challenge Lyons for the top spot. Mentions also for Ken Knighton and Dave Clements. In recent times Reda Johnson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
room0035 Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 For me it has to be Gerald Sibon - how many players do you know gets head butted by another player (Dion Dublin) and the other guy breaks his neck and our player continues playing the rest of the game find. If we are talking hard men then also in the list is David Hirst a great striker who gave as much as he got can you remember the Dane Whilehouse tackle in the derby when he cut him in half. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiJ Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Semedo deserves a mention. For his size he was built like a br*ck shithouse. Not the most gifted player, but absolute definition of a no nonsense grafter in midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hard really not to look back in this sort of thread rather than at more recent time (and not just because our signing of biscuits in recent years) But also because. ...well. men just looked a bit more manly in the past. I mean, Knighton. He's a bloke isn't he. Agreed - and he also scored the goal to keep us in Division 1 - one of my fave all time players! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was like a minder to the kids. I remember one of them being the victim of a dirty foul that started a melee and Madden was just pushing our players away telling them not to get involved. But I knew what he was really doing. Sure enough, a few miinutes later he put the bloke on the ground (might have been Bob Booker) and then booted him again while he was down there for good measure. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
