Who are the "dirtiest" players that you've, personally, seen play?

[DahnSarf]

Substitute dirty for hard and you get Jimmy Scoular, Joe Bolton, Billy Elliot, Dave McKay, Chopper Harris etc.

Bob Stokoe was no saint either (as a player, I hasten to add)

 

[Kid Galahad]

Think all the usual suspects have been named but can anyone remember a big skinhead centre back marking Shearer in a cup game, possibly for Notts County? I've never seen old weetabix so intimidated ! Two not mentioned yet because they are red n white are Bally and Kaysie, they made some shockers over the years tbh, also Iain Munro took no prisoners, his tackle on Steve Hunt (neck high on the half way line!) was something to behold, he didn't even wait for the red card, just jogged down the tunnel

 

[one footed wonder]

Tim Krul, proper paraffin lamp

 

[Grumpy Old Man]

OK, Bremner was more than capable of being a c*nt but I don't think he was in the same league as Collins and Giles!

In the same way as some will think of Hunter, who I thought was hard but (normally) fair.

You obviously weren't at the 1967 Cup Tie when he did Bobby Kerr with an over the top tackle.

 

[r@mside]

Denis Bergkamp for such a sublime talent was a dirty fecker.

Steve Walsh and Paul Scholes.

It was Justin Whittle of Grimsby, I knew it was black and white stripes!

 

[Steak Pie]

Andy Llewellyn. Everyone in the ground knew he was going to do Anthony Smith that day, missed him 1st time, ended his career the 2nd. Cowardly twat.

Mel Sterland was a snidey prick as well.

 

[BucketBiff]

Modern Day. Not hard men but that David Luiz is a dirty fucker

 

[Zaragoza]

Baresi great defender hard as nails.

Vinny Jones fouling coward.

 

[robcal]

Kader mangane anyone?

 

[Pooter]

Mick Harford could look after himself.

 

[DufraisFTM]

Gerrard has done some sickeners over the years, which the press like to ignore.

Dirtiest player of the PL era IMO. Well, at least of those who have played in it over a long period of time.

 

[Shandy drinker]

You missed Norman Hunter off that list mate.

Add Jackie Carlton horrible thug
If he hadn't made in football he would of Been an archetypal Union gob shite doon tha colliery

Mick Harford could look after himself.

Was he good at cooking plus washing ironing
Liked to tidy up after training and do the washing up?
Always looked smart did Michael

 

[SAFCMarc]

Marco Materazzi

 

[takeawaytoo]

Speedie.......The Master, Garry Bennett showed him!!
Right into the clock stand, there is only one Garry Bennett, one Gary Bennett!!!

Remember that tackle well. I think thats why a lot of people were a bit harsh on Dan Smith for taking out that Arsenal player in a fairly similar challenge.

Just googled Andy Llewellyn and it seems he is total scum off the pitch as well. Got a 3 year stretch a few years ago.

Terry Hurlock. Possibly the only bloke ever with long curly hair down to their arse who could still manage to look hard.

 

[T_Bone]

Mark Dennis

 

[AB22 Easy Tiger]

Hunter/Store/Moore/Harris, all choppers from a bygone age.

Moore???????

 

[Kid Galahad]

Moore???????

Brian Moore, dirty get!
Frank Bough was worse!!
