LFC stars make 'hard man' list

What a load of sh*te. Bowyer? Batty? Terry?

My arse.

Cantana, he's not hard he is a poet, who does ballet

John Terry?

Lee F***ing Bowyer?

What a joke.

Why isn't Barton on there? 

5. Dennis Wise.

Funniest of the lot of them.

Keane was a coward -what he did to Haaland was unforgiveable- slightest bit of bother and he walks away in man
Keane was a coward as a player - What he did to Haaland was unforgiveable- Bottle's it as a manager as well. The s**te that Sunderland are in is mostly down to him

What a laugh to read the hardest man list !! Where are the likes of Norman Hunter, Nobby Stiles and Chopper Harris?
Tommy Smith without a doubt was the hardest man I ever saw as a player... I remember when he played with a dislocated knee for 70 minutes thinking it was a niggling injury he could run off !!
Roy Keane (who is he?) he wouldnt have lasted 10 minutes on the park in the 70s with his so called hard man attitude, Tommy Smith would have just steam rollered him !!and  never given it a second thought !!

If you dropped Roy Keane into the heyday of Souness, Smith, Harris, Hunter et al he wouldn't last 5 f**king minutes.

Those were REAL hard men.

And as for John Terry? I laughed so hard a bit of wee came out.

I think the majority of players from back in the day would over shadow all the numpties they've thrown in that list.

Load of me arse that. Tommy Smith, no. 18 and John Terry no. 8? : He got booted in the face once, don't mess with him.

Plus, Skrtel would kill the lot.

There's a funny smell like sh*te in here.

He's a snide Roy Keane never had the balls to stand and face anyone who looked remotely threatening,that does qualify a bully but if the cap fits an all that sh*te.Tommy Smith would have had him for breakfast .

I think there's a place for all, but they got the hardest guy I ever seen at 18 and that can't be right. Bremner was as tough as old boots, so was Harris, Souness and Batty, but Vinnie Jones please, who does this stuff. More who should not be there are Bowyer, Shearer who was tough and fair, but hard, not his style.

Keane at one, another strange one, Cantona, when was he ever hard, dirty sometimes but hard, no-way. The day of the hitman has well gone and today it's looked at with a moan and groan and 40,000 baying for blood and the red card.

I for one prefer the way football is played today, and I believe there is still room for the tough guy, but today the nearest we come is players like Mascha & Carra, who I'm sure loves the rough and tumble of the EPL, one or two of our games this year have had an edge, so maybe it's still there, waiting........

I think a few Hammers fans would make a good arguement for Billy Bonds as well.

From the few clips I've seen of him in his day, not many messed with Frank McKlintock either.

Ladies and gentleman i give you the 8th hardest footballer of all time:


 

John Terry?!

Must be some sort of wind up thing.

Spot on DLS, and lets not forget Ron Yeats who would be right up there.

TOMMY SMITH     RED POWER  !


MY ARSE.   

Except for Souness ...............the rest a bunch of ladyboys.

This is why i dont take any notice of polls, Wise in front of Smith and Souness someone is having a big wind up ,that poll should be re located to the jokes thread.

What about our slovakian?

Big Martin Skrtel.

Gerry Byrne should be in there for playing practically a full game plus all of extra time with a broken collarbone!! How much F***ing harder can you get than that?!

Think there's a difference with some of those players in that list. There's a few select proper hard men and then there's a few dirty players. Being dirty doesn't make you hard. It makes you a coward.

Where was Steve Mc Mahon? never ever saw that bloke shirk a challenge,who compiled this list ? Harry Potter?

Gerry Byrne is indeed at the top of that list and quite rightly so as well, some of today's players like dogbreath and nancy pancy ronaldo can't hold a torch to some of these players, they wouldn't last 5 minutes with Tommy Smith

I saw Tommy Smith in costco a few months ago

We both grabbed for the last box of oreos. I should've backed down
Left with eyes like oreos

He was one hell of a hardman
