Hard man city 11

[Vienna_70]

I expect the hardest players to play for City did so in the late Victorian and Edwardian eras. I reckon Merideth in his prime would have been hard as fuck by today’s standards.

A coal miner, wasn’t he?

You’d have to be hard to work down a mine.

I heard somewhere once that not many would mess with Fabian Delph.
A nice bloke who you wouldn't want to cross.
I remember Kane injuring himself trying to do Delph down there at Spurs, champs league.
Delph stood over him fist clenched and Kane shit it and offered his hand as an apology

Fabians Delph had a great season at left back in the 100 points season.

Pep at his coaching finest.

My Dad used to talk about Bill Lievers. Ex miner apparently hard as nails.

To be fair his footballing contribution was instantly forgettable, his tackling less so.

He was shite and was put in his place by Paul Stewart when City played West Brom at the Hawthorns.

The way Sergio intervened with those cuntish stewards / coppers at Bournemouth after the last minute winner showed he had a bit of dog in him.

Made me even more proud of him if that were possible

He's Argentinian what do you expect. Big shout for Zabba. Proper warrior.

Anyone put Danny Tiato in yet

Love that picture. He was intervied by Ian Cheesman I think, before the Watford cup final. He expressed how much he hates Liverpool. No wonder my old fella loved the bloke as they were his most hated club as well.
