Ernie must be the most well known , but to be fair, for every infamous hardman there are plenty equally tough men who are ordinary family blokes and don't have reputations and images to keep

I'll start with "spuggy purvis".He and his notorious gang were feared around Sunderland in the 70's/80's.

I took Spugy down outside the inter continental one Saturday after noon with 3 punches
