City's Hardest Ever Player

In my time, Stuart Pearce or Andy Morrison.

Psycho is a guy that twice tried to 'run off' a broken leg.

Of all time though, I can't see past Bert Trautmann. Being hard on a football pitch and being hard in a military sense are about as far apart from each other as a wank and a 15 hooker gang bang.
 
Bert Trautman simply for the broken neck.

Dave Watson; watch the Leaue Cup Final from 1976 and in the dressing room, Big Dave is being interviewed for TV whilst having stitches put into a gash above his eye. Talks calmly to the camera as though nothing is happening.

Nails.

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 from the 50's is a good shout. Not unlike Dave Mackay, who put Bremner in his place.
Mike Doyle is worth a mention to.
But Mike Summerbee was definately hard as nails.
Saw Buzzer play many times, and you just didn't mess with him.

get the handle bar muzzy and the flowing locks, this guy was hard as nails and wins it hands down end of thread......
 
I once spoke to Ron Chopper Harris about hard men ,as he was one of the hardest and he said Mike Summerbee.
 
Tiatto was a bit of a bastard.


right now i'd say Mario, he would take on anybody ....he just would.

noticed no one mention tiatto in first ten pages .. posted him then looked at the message above haha
 
I've been playing out all day, just got in to read this, I'm in agreement with several other "posters" has to be Roy Paul. A gentleman off the field, different again when playing.
 
when we went through the era of signing a load of georgians to keep Gio happy, there were some hard men.

Kakhabar Tskadadze was 'king of the air' apparently. However, no one appeared to explain to him that he didint need to head everything and I winced on more than one occasion as he repeatedly stuck his head in to tackle players who were, more sensibly, going in with two feet.

He pails in comparison to his mate though, Murtaz Shelia. He was without a doubt the hardest, scariest looking player I've seen in a blue shirt.. and not a bad touch for a brick wall!
