Bristolatic Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 Tommy Smith. The Liverpuddle full back, not the current striker (?) with the same name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryBosch Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 Pointon stood up, he rolls around like he's broken his leg Keane is off and definately rightly so. Someone who I think deserves an honourable mention is Justin Fashanu, doing what he did, when you were of African descent in those days took a lot of bottle (as emphasised that despite it being over 20 years ago (if not 30), no-one else has come out in professional football in this country). Not to mention some of the stuff his brother said about him. But then again maybe that isn't being hard its having balls the size of BP. i'm sure it all involved him being "hard" at some stage? unless he was permanently Martha?

opinions4u Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 I've played on with a broken leg, and I could take Stuart Pearce. Keiron Dyer once scored for Ipswich with a broken leg! Didn't Dion Dublin play for 6 months with a broken neck? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ackey Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 you don't hear of many black suicides, do you? never thought about it til now. How many suicides do you hear about, full stop? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldhamSheridan Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 How many suicides do you hear about, full stop? How many ex-Conservative MP's involved in kinky sex games are there? That would 1,742 then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He quite plainly is. He could kill you and all your mates, and their dogs, and your next door neighbour. He might not be a nice bloke, but he is quite good at being hard.

He could kill you and all your mates, and their dogs, and your next door neighbour. He might not be a nice bloke, but he is quite good at being hard. He might be (although I have seen little evidence), or he might just be your typical, game, fiery Irishman - sorry for the generalisation people.

garcon Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 He might be (although I have seen little evidence), or he might just be your typical, game, fiery Irishman - sorry for the generalisation people. One of the characteristics of Roy Keane that suggests to me he really is quite hard is one that has only really come to light since he became a manager. He has that unnerving ability to come over as more menacing the quieter he talks. It's the implied knowledge that there's no need to shout because if it comes to it he'll be perfectly happy to finish the conversation outside. With as many as feel like it. I seem to remember a clash between Keane and Shearer where the Geordie joker as good as laid him out there and then. However, I suspect that even to this day Shearer is secretly fearing some kind of brutal revenge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ackey Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 I think it's incredibly English that we try and look for Hardmen who are not stand-out nutters but instead the 'gentleman'. Like they're harder because they're nicer off the pitch or can have a laugh. Keane was hard because not only was he a bit handy he was also ruthless (ask Alf-Inge Haaland!).

GlossopLatic Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 (edited) Terry Hurlock worth a shout in a thread like this? Edited September 13, 2010 by GlossopLatic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
footy68 Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 (edited) Does Stan Ternent fit the bill? A lot of players have complained about him hitting them in the dressing room. Not sure whether this is hard or just dirty, but, until recently, any player for Uruguay. Edited September 14, 2010 by footy68 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
