[tom]

Good player tho

my first thought was dave watson by a mile he was a better footballer than most of the hard men that have been mentioned as well.

but when nicky reid was mentioned i thought he was hard as nails similar to joey barton, he didn't miss tackles like joey barton and he was twice as good a footballer.

i'm going with nicky watson

Joseph Barton, no doubt in my mind!

thick, not hard.

See City old boys have agreed to a testimonial for Gerry Gow at Bristol City.

From what I've heard - I never saw him play - Roy Paul was as hard as granite with nails embedded in it.

Of the players I remember, Mike Doyle and Dave Watson stand out.

And Andy Morrison.

I remember watching one of the early PPV games against Colchester, I think it was.

Andy and one of their forwards - a Brazilian I think it was - went up for the ball and clashed heads. Their player had to be carried off on a stretcher. Morrison shook his head a couple of times and just carreid on.

Now that's hard!

I'm surprised no-one has mentioned Buzzer senior. A winger who played with his socks rolled down and would give as good as he got from opposing full-backs.

Any of the others mentioned would eat Barton twice over for breakfast.

Barton is lucky VK decided not to take him on in the last game of the season.

There would have been only one winner, IMHO.

I played with Nicky Reid, so I'll go with Dave Watson.

Bert the para! Read his book game over!

Stephen Ireland?

Robinho

Mancini - he would have ripped fergies head off if that hard looking fourth official hadn't have stopped him.

Some great shouts but I'll go for Nicky Reid, as Big Mal once described him 'the fiercest tackler since Dave Mackay'.

Big Dave "having a word" with Billy Bremner as Terry Venables looks on.......

Too many to choose from, but a select group would have to include:

- Mike Summerbee
- Mick Doyle
- Dave Watson
- Andy Morrison
- Gerry Gow

Anyone who lists Barton really needs to take a look at their perception of the word "hard". He's nothing more than a soft-arse, mouthy, snidey little prick, and would be obliterated in the company of any of the above. And he knows it.

Kolorov hasn't had a mention yet.

I was just getting around to it.


Listen, they way Mario stepped to Vidic was decent. We all cheered that.

I wouldn't like to get on the wrong side of Richard Dunne or Craig Bellamy.
