Footballs hardest

[The_One]

Whos been the hardest player the prem has seen?

for me its big dunc

 

[Azza]

+1 for Big Dunc.

 

[No1newts]

Good old days.

Be a 50 game ban for that these days

 

[rotters]

Roy keane.

 

[Viper²]

No one.

 

[Purdy]

Hardest=/=being a thug

Someone who wasn't a **** on the pitch I'd imagine

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

Ruddock.

The only player to break both legs of a player with the same tackle.

 

[Ripper]

Big Vinny J for sure

 

[Artic7]

Torres.

 

[G-MAN2004]

Roy keane.

Lol. He's an absolute ****. Thinks he's hard, but really isn't.

 

[Loki]

Lol. He's an absolute ****. Thinks he's hard, but really isn't.

How do you know this ???

Is there any real hardmen in football in the Premiership ???

Sure there was some real competitors like Keano & Big Dunc who took the law into their own hands, literally on some occasions. If the measure of a hardman was somebody who could take a good kicking and give them out in equal measure then Big Dunc and Keano are in there for sure.

Every team always had a competitor who the opposition loved to hate. They always thought they were hard men but really they weren't

Vieria
Wise
Batty
Shearer

Just really nuisances but not a tough guy.

 

[4T5]

Ron "Chopper" Harris.

 

[twist3d0n3]

Nani

 

[semi-pro waster]

Ron "Chopper" Harris.

In the Premiership? He had an awfully long career...

I'd have though drunken Duncan had a pretty good claim both inside and outside football but it's hardly been an era where hardmen can exist in the same way that they might have done in say the 60s and 70s - football has changed and that is probably in part due to greater professionalism as well as greater protection being afforded for dangerous challenges although you could argue it's gone too far in some cases removing legitimate (if tough) challenges.

 

[The_One]

Julian Dicks is another one

 

[Caseh]

I wouldn't argue with Keown, but that might just be how he looks.

 

[Nate75]

in the prem erm..

 

[el_dazza]

Ron "Chopper" Harris.

I used to play pool with his son

Keane isn't a hard man, he even admitted he got done by Shearer when he tried to go for him.

Duncan Disorderly gets a lot of votes in this because of the whole jail thing but the reality is that was more of a technicality than anything else.
