elyowl1 Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 No respect for any dirty players ours or others, seen too many of ours crippled and careers cut short due to them. Big difference between the hard but fair type and the out and out dirty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think we've ever had a really dirty player who other teams were scared of. Leeds had at least 3 in one team, Hunter, Bremner, and Charlton. They won things, we didn't.

It has certainly been the case since I've watched Wednesday (late 1980s onwards). We've had one or two players not scared of a physical battle but a nasty/dirty player I don't recall. I doubt the club would have put up with such a player, hence why Di Canio was treated in the manner he was -- one of the few nasty/dirty incidents I remember from a wednesday player.

spike Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 Just try and watch a Wednesday game in the eyes of the opposing supporters. Sam will keep fouling, deliberately and sometimes recklessly, until he gets booked. He is one of the most consistently dirty players in the league - maybe only Ben Pearson above him , but very close. Problem with Sam is that he has no subtlety and will do it under the refs nose. So Id say Sam is dirty- yes, clumsy- no, clever- no but would still be in my first XI despite his obvious faults that never get resolved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davetherivelinowl Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Not a dirty player but possibly the dirtiest tackle Rod Wallace playing for Southampton knocked the ball past Lawrie Madden on the halfway line and began to chase past him. Madden realised there was only one winner in a race so he scythed him down. Nearly split him in two. Had to stop him somehow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OhForAnotherShez Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Roy Coyle knew his job in the team. How the game has changed e.g. Henderson's succesful penaly appeal for England last night, and people "close to death" until the game is stopped or the referee punishes their opponent. Emergency helicopter needed now for a dislocated hairgrip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
