Hard man city 11

[eyalluvitt]

Barton’s a fucking coward. Fuck all hard about him

The first city player to lay a glove on Keane in about 5 years

Micky Horswill didn't play many games for us but I'd have him in there. Kiddo as well - he often got his retaliation in first if he thought the centre back was trying it on.

Bosvelt punched the lights out Barton in training I guess that makes him hard as well then :-).

That’s a new one I’ve not heard. Can you elaborate?

He’s a poor man’s Steven Gerard, who was also a cowardice ****, as proven by both their actions

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.

Fernandinho was more than capable of handling things when required. Just wasn't loud and obnoxious about it.

Mike Doyle 10:02 into the video of this very famous game makes him the captain of any hard man team.

How much trouble was there outside after that game ?

I wasn't there but my recollection was that there was always trouble and you had to be a bit wary. My older brother is a red and I can remember having a right old time ripping the piss out of him and my mum trying to keep the peace.

Another mention for Asa Hartford. He left so many opponents lying in pieces after 50:50 tackles.
All backed up with great football skills.
