City's Hardest Ever Player

For me I'd go with Micah and be fairly confident that he'd kick the shit out of anybody else if it came down to it. He's a massive human being who doesn't get fucked with because he is so massive. His pleasant demeanor has been cultivated over years of everybody being afraid of him. Can anybody name an athlete who combines speed and strength like the big man?
 
Big Dave Watson shades it in my time. Although I do think Tommy Hutch deserves an honourable mention.
Out of todays players I'll go for Zab.That little fella would run through brick walls for us(on and off the pitch) Love him to bits.
 
Mike Doyle. I read a story once where Roberto Duran walked around Panama City with a Leopard.

Mike did this first on a visit to George Best's Nightclub. True story.
 
In my time, Doyle, Mike Summerbee,Watson, Horswill, Hartford, Gow, Mcnab, Morrison, Pearce, Thatcher and De Jong.
There are hard players and a lot of nasty players in there. A lot of players in this thread fall into the nasty category, but for sheer hard as nails excellence, Mike Doyle leaves the rest standing.
 
Derek Parlane was a meaty fucker and could dish it out.

Mike Doyle...

Buzzer

Lee

Morrison

Bert

Of todays lads... never underestimate Gareth Barry. Remember the chelsea game, put Essien and Mikel on their arses with solid hard tackles.

ok, let's judge how hard a player is based on their genetics :D

Or how much of a nutcase he is/how far he can punch someone?

Micah Richards is a nutcase? lol....

How do you know how long his reach is?

In the current squad Mario would demolish most (if not all of 'em)
My only basing on this is that I've seen Mario sparring in a Thai Boxing gym, never seen any of the others (so they might even be better)

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

My Dad always says that.Even threatened to twat a famous ex German Para if I recall.

My Dad never shuts up about Roy Paul to the extent that we even had a bet on our way to Chesterfield at which point he would mention Roy Paul without prompting - 20 minutes.

Roy Pauls good mood was Mike Doyle and Andy Morrison rolled into one when they are having a bad day!

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 ).

I like the shout for Shaunny. Heart of a lion that lad and never once saw him shit out of a set to.

Of the current players, i'd go for MadPabZab, Mario and Tevez.

Also used to like McMahon and Reid in the same side.
 
For me it would be Mick Mccarthy, always remember him giving Andy Gray a good hiding at Villa away one season, plus a great defender as well.

However my Grandad always goes on about a player called Dave Ewing, he says he was the hardest player he has ever seen.
