Remember Tony Coton was one of the notorious group of Birmingham players always getting in to fights during the 1980's. Can't remember all of the others? wasn't Mick Harford one of them? Anyway TC would be up near the top.

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

Seconded. Would love to have seen him take Mr Keane out. Because he would have.

Coton was out in Manchester one night and after he clocked me looking at him he proceeded to eye ball me and stare me out. He must have thought I was a rag but I couldn't bring myself to approach him in case he twatted me first and then asked questions later! He definitely was a hard man and a great goalie but my vote goes to Nicky Reid from my era. I no doubt believe Mick Doyle was a hard man too and it always makes me chuckle when back in '74 with the Law backheel at the swamp, Doyle just stood there as the rags invaded the pitch and you could see he was waiting for a rag to swing for him and he would've buried them.

I have a lasting memory of a player running down the wing in fornt of the Kippax towards Platt lane. He met Nicky Reid just outside the box and landed just before the byline.

Reid just got up with the ball.

Can't remember the game or the player but the tackle is tattooed in my memory.

Tiatto was a psycho didn't he once kick someone in the nads and then booted the bottles on the touchline when he got sent off? Could be a dream because i was only young when he played for us lol.

 

[the old abbey]

Roy paul by a country mile.cos mi old man said so.

 

[flinty1975]

Jason Van Blerk( or was it Berk?) used to scare the shit out of me with his passing!

That's 2 red cards you've got mixed into one there! He landed his boot on a Blackburn players nuts and was sent off. He was also sent off for slapping a Norwich player, that's when he booted the bottles.

The whole team looked hard the year we got sponsored by Viagra Eyedrops.

isn't tony coton a rag anyway?

Jerry Gow was as tough as they come as a midfielder for sure & I'd back him to kick the shit out of Roy Keane etc, but him squaring up to Morrison or Watson would be like Ricky Hatton squaring up to Mike Tyson.

 

[waterloo blue]

Dave Watson you don't get a face like his by being a shrinking violet,closely followed by Mike Doyle(ask Leighton James).
My Grandad always said it was Roy Paul,but he was a bit biased as he used to booze with him in the Locomotive,can't remember where it is but it's featured on Jimmy Grimble and Fred Feast(Gee) used to run it.
