Football Enforcers

And not forgetting Julian Dicks. He sorted a few out.
Stuart Pearce was quite tasty too!
There was also one Kevin Muscat. Pure filth with limited ability ............................ just don't upset him!

Kevin Muscat! You're having a laugh.

Still fondly remembered at B'ham for spending most of one B'ham v Wolves hiding from Martin Grainger. Made no difference as O'Connor got him instead and then Muscat the Wimp had the nerve to whinge to the ref.

Genuine enforcers did not complain if they got some back.
 
Not sure if anyone has mentioned him, but the dirtiest player in the dirty Leeds team of the early 70's was Johnny Giles.

Leeds had a few, Bremner, Charlton, Hunter,Jordan and Giles.

Kenny Burns was scary, and didn't take prisoners.

Friends of mine who played against that Leeds side would agree about Giles but would also include Alan Clarke in the list.

Definitely a lively after football life. Taken from Wikipedia so take with the customary pinch of salt

After retiring from football he was convicted of various criminal offences; including keeping a brothel, and was jailed for three years for financing a plot to counterfeit gold coins. He has been married four times and has three sons and one daughter; he currently resides in southern France with his fourth wife.

Rougvie was well looked after when he played for Aberdeen. You have to remember that Willie Miller was the the Aberdeen Captain and as such had the ear of every referee in the top flight of the game. Willie seemed to have a way with words and the refs just couldn't help but run the game the way Miller wanted it run.

Rougvie was just a cart horse at best. Miller on the other hand had the skills of a ninja and the appearance of an angel, even if caught red handed.

Rougvie now works offshore, he was working with me6 months back as a surveyor
 
There's a few I could go for (Birmingham City): Darren Purse, Martin Grainger, Danny Sonner, Martyn O'Connor, Damien Johnson... (they don't build footballers like these any more)

A funny one though: Guiraine N'Daw, this guy was just a mediocre footballer, but give him the chance of a big tackle or a 30 yard thump at goal - he was your man!

Homer my old mate, it's kind of you to try and ease my pain but however you look at it 56 years at St Andrews or 40 years at the Cottage it is still an awful lot of suffering.

And then when I hear fans of the big clubs moaning that they have not won a trophy for 10 years or failed for once to qualify for Europe I really do get p****d off.

Still we keep on coming back for more.
 
I can't recall the names but the story goes, There was a young rugby player who was trying to make a name for himself as a hard man.
So he made a really hard and dangerous tackle on the then hardest player in the game .
There was blood every where, just as the ref was reaching for a card the big man on the ground shouted " DON'T YOU EFIN DARE SEND HIM OFF".

As told by an ex rugby player at a sportsman dinner many years ago, his first line was " i took the wife out last night, 1 efin punch".

I mentioned it on another thread, but always thought it was funny in the old days when Fulham were down in the old Div 4 there was an advert clearly visible from the home terrace for The Samaritans and their Fulham branch phone number, Many a match when I could have made that call if we had mobiles in those days. Footie fans. Once it's in the blood you're with them for life
