[Far Tibetan Mountain]

Was Cana ‘tough’? Just thought he was a dirty bastard who loved a two footed tackle.

If you can dish it out, you need to be able to take it.

 

[Stortford]

Billy Whitehurst and Mick Harford. That would be a canny tear-up.

This

10 posts before Joe Bolton was mentioned ...what is the world coming to ?

and this

Special mention to Benno but don’t think he is quite in the same league as the other 3

 

[Lukas73]

Benno, just for that spat with Speedy....

 

[homeless kid]

Frank Worthingnton? Before my time like but my ex g/f was from Huddersfield and her faatha used to see Frank down the bookies and down the boozer almost daily

Looks like he can handle himself

I genuinely thought he was unhinged. That adds to the tough 'image' for me in his case.

Update: he passed away last year

Aye and he’s Serbian or something isn’t he which adds even more to the tough image

Psycho Munro (the seething silent Scotsman)

 

[The Archer]

If you’re talking off the pitch, then Billy Whitehurst is the correct answer.

I have a mate who was contracting at Eggborough Power Station when Billy worked in the stores for a period.

Apparently he gave everyone the third degree as to what they wanted and why they wanted it. My mate says it was a nightmare

 

[LBWagain]

Steve Bould.

Probably not as bad as facing up to him on a pitch in a physical contest, Wasn't "Bomardier Billy" also a hod carrier before football?

Ritchie Pitt was no softie.

Aye, hopefully less chance of a broken nose. I think he did all kinds of work. Building sites, publican, bare knuckle boxer….

Iain Munro

Vic Halom

Ron Guthrie

Benno

Schwartz

At last a mention for Ron "Tank" Guthrie!

Barry Siddall used to terrify forwards in one-on-ones.

Albanian which is even worse!

I knew he'd had a few "employments" where use of his size had come in useful....
