Hardest three footballers ever

Participant · 23 Feb 2011 at 20:19

Just wondering which footballers members would least like to find themselves on the wrong side of. Let's say they must have been playing in a top flight league since 1960, so we don't get loads of 'my great grandad' and blokes from the 1800s

.

The blokes I'd least like to play against / fight are:

3. Roy Keane.
2. Duncan Ferguson.
1. Patrice Evra.

Patrice Evra just seems faster more aggressive, stronger than everyone. I'm not talking dirty here by the way, so players that just foul all the time but couldn't fight your granny, don't count.

Now you!

All these guys from the 1960s...do you really think they'd stand up in a fight against your Evras and your Drogbas? The latter pair are much fitter and are veritable athletic specimens compared to the boozing fag smokers of the 60s.

No shouts for Essien? The man's an absolute unit.

That's a good shout. But Dennis Wise...really? He would feature in the 'top three worst foulers' and 'top three midgets with an attitude', but that's as far as I'd take it.

But in a fight who would win between say...Patrice Evra and Norman Hunter? I'd say Evra hands down.

Are you having a laugh? Patrice Eva? Alan Carr would give him a run for his money ffs...

Evra just seems to have that aura of hard about him. Like he would hurt you and not stop hurting you until you were a jellified mess. There's an undercurrent of something nasty bubbling inside him.
