It has been a while since we have had real tough har man in the tesm ( not complaining :-) ). So I decided to try compose a historic City hard man XI. Probably missed a bunch of good candidates ”so let’s be having it”
I will go with a 5-3-2 formation. Kick, lump, tackle and run
GK: Bert’s reasons are obvious
RB Dunne a leader quiet no nonsens and tough. He did not back down to any opposition, manager or Thai owner.
CB Andy Morrison a fearsome warrior on the pitch
CB Gerry Gow Another scottish warrior. The missing teeth alone tells the story
CB Spencer Prior the guy was tough abd punched a Bobby who did not let the City fans celebrate on the pitch
LB Pscyho Pearce hard in tackle the less said about him as manager and pundit the better.
MC Danny Tiatto never one to hold back in the tackle or an argument
MC Nigel deJong a guy you wanted on your side. Alway prepared to battle
AM Michael Brown a hard tackling, sometimes a bit to energetic with notion of leaving a mark on the game.
FW Craig Bellamy stood up to anyone Shearer, Mancini, Keane etc. just give the man his golf club.
FW Carlos Tevez also enjoyed golfing and getting stuck in on the pitch.
