City's Hardest Ever Player

[TravisBickle]

The first name that popped into my head when I saw the title of the thread was Andy Morrison. He was one hard, mad, bastard..

On a different note wasn't Wio Ferdinand hard when Kompany scored that bullet of a header against the rags?

Wonder if Ferdinand is shouting take it! take it! take it! to our vinny ;)

[Notinmylifetime]

in reverse order from 1968 to present day,,,,,Oakes, Doyle, Watson, Gow, Reid, Morrison and believe it or not....the hardest by a distance ( but none of you will believe it ) was a player called Kit Symmons ( heard Joe Royle once say he was THE hardest he's ever seen and he played against Hunter, Bremner, Harris, Jack Charlton, Kenny Burns, the lot ).

Honourable mentions to SWP ( stand up against anyone ) and Benarbia ( got his teeth knocked out, picked em up, threw em over touchline and carried on without even a wince ).

Roy Paul, no question. Skipper in 1955 & 56 finals. Hard as nails. Any older fans agree? Iron man.

Roy Paul had various 'liaisons' with the certain wives at a certain club. He said to a bloke I used to know that he stayed well away from Bert Trautmann's missus, for fear of being snapped in half. Although Bert wasn't given to acting the hardman, apparently he was.
