striker Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 Gary Lineker shat himself on the pitch. Not our player I know, but still.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trask43 Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 Was it Barry Horne who we had on loan for a brief spell. He seemed like an absolute throwback last player I really remember who would launch himself into a good few two footed tackles every game at a time when they were on the verge of being banned from the game.

Dooogs Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 I remember Paul McLaren being a properly dirty player. I only saw him in a handful of games but he tried a potential leg-breaker at least once in every single one. Lee Chapman was more of a traditional hard man than a dirty player but he seemed to lead with his elbow for almost every aerial challenge. In a completely different way, as a wind-up merchant, I loved Ross Wallace playing for us but would have absolutely hated him playing against us. The moment when he pinched a sub's tactics notes and started reading them was one of the funniest on-the-pitch moments I've ever seen at th'Wednesday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

torryowl Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 Lots of hard men over the years but that dont make them dirty players . . ...if I had to pick one who wasnt worried about going over the top it would be tony kay . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexpistol Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 Sammy. Also I’m surprised no one has mentioned Geary? I seem to recall him getting booked many times. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shetland Owl Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 Ken Knighton, also David Sunley always seemed to give a lot of fouls away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dooogs Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 Purely on fouls conceded per minute, Nuhiu must have a higher rate than any other Wednesday player (arguably says more about the standard of reffing than big Adthe, though). I was never quite sure if Carlton was dirty or just clumsy - a bit of both, depending on his temper, I suspect... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 6 hours ago, LJY1985 said: Sam Hutchinson all the way. Honorouble mentions to Darren Purse, Ashley Westwood and Guy Branston. Michael Morrison during his brief spell a right c you next tuesday Hutchinson is the only one in recent times, along with Semedo but I would way say Semedo was hard, no nonsense rather than outright dirty and I wouldn't say Hutchinson is a dirty player in a sly or nasty kind of way either. All I remember about Westwood and Morrison is that they were utterly useless most of the time rather than dirty, Branston was only here a short while but did manage to combine uselessness with being a dirty player - remember him getting sent off in the second half to Tranmere, a red card that was nailed on from about 10 minutes in. 3 hours ago, sexpistol said: Sammy. Also I’m surprised no one has mentioned Geary? I seem to recall him getting booked many times. Good shout on Geary, don't think he necessarily set out to be dirty but was just young, keen, eager to impress and got influenced by the crowd at times.
