Spanish Dave. Never pulled out of a challenge, got kicked all over the place every week, loved to give it back to far bigger & stronger players & 100% struck fear into the opposition

Maybe a different definition than you intended, but definitely a hard man

 

[Kinkladze's crazy skills]

Wasn't Norman Hunter meant to be terrified of Franny Lee? I've seen it mentioned in the Bell,Lee & Summerbee film when they're talking about it, plus mentioned elsewhere too.

Just saying Hunter is regarded as a supposed all time hard man of football,
many said Franny really used to scare the shit outta him.

if that's the case surely Lee defo has a case

I know for a fact you didn’t mess around with Eric Nixon. Hard as nails.

He ‘apparently’ kicked the shit out of a gobby scouse player at an event years ago. Can’t remember who, but wanna say David Speedie

 

[Resurrection Joe...]

Tony Coleman.

 

[Shirley]

For some reason I read it was “hard men” amongst the fans.
No contest in the late sixties and no names mentioned.
Fcukin brutal

 

[JGL07]

Bill Leivers and Dave Ewing and earlier Roy Paul.

I know for a fact you didn’t mess around with Eric Nixon. Hard as nails.

Used to drink in the Manor House with his brothers and always useful to know they would have your back if any trouble occured.
