Dirtiest Players

[HodgysBrokenThumb]

Can you imagine? We still have dunces who are stuck at the 'Kilgannon' phase.

I got past that test, but it's CCV that does for me now. I've got the hang of each of his 3 names, but I can never put the buggers in the right order.

The dirtiest player I ever saw was a nasty cunt called Jeff Whitehead. If memory serves, he started at Manure but didn't quite make it for them and was sold to Forest.

He perfected a technique whereby he would kick the ball away but at the same time ' accidentally ' follow through and stud the player challenging him. I remember a match against them in the mid 60's at the Lane when after only about 15 mins. we had three players hobbling around clutching their knees ( one of them was Woody ) all due to this and, at that point, he hadn't had a single foul given against him !!

Nasty, sly bastard of a player. I don't know how his career ended but, without coming over all TD, I hope it wasn't in a pleasant way.

 

[Bladesman]

Phil Neville wasn't a dirty or malicious player but just a really shit defender who couldn't time a tackle properly.

Also If there was ever a player who only got called up to England because he played for a big club then its Phil.

Just read this article on the Premierships dirtiest players and thought what a bunch of fucking pussycats. None of them would have stood up to Chopper Harris or Tommy Smith.

So in any era, premiership or before, who do you think was the dirtiest? I'll go for Billy Bremner.

Trevor hockey was hell of a footballer but knew when to leave his foot in when the referee wasn't looking, Alan Clark was another one

 

[Tyler Durden]

Three from more modern times.

Nigel De Jong, Emmanuel Eboue and Pepé

Not old style "hard" players either, just nasty malicious shitbags, all three of 'em.

Don’t worry Hodgy - our Gert reduced the pub to rubble with “Sven-Erik Gorgonsson”

Pepe is a proper dildo licker. I can't stand him.

 

[Sean Thornton]

Tommy Smith ,the day after he was born the Germans surrendered , coincidence ?

Jimmy Lindsay and the great Jimmy Greaves pretending he hasn't seen his team mates attempted suicide by going near Tommy.

You're way ahead of me.

I keep wanting to call him Clarence Frogman Henry .

I don't know why......

Not dirty but it's Twitchy, it's West Ham and he looks like a wide boy even then.

Looks like Lee Mavers from The La's.

How am I supposed to know who that is at my age?

This came out in 1988!

Was brilliant for Everton against us at the Lane though.

Aah yes. I think I complained about that being played too loud in the Foresters once.

I see the resemblance though.

As for lookalikes, how about me and Cary Grant?

Even I knew that and I was brought up on Al Boley.

 

[The Crab]

Andoni Goikoetxea - The Butcher Of Bilbao.

Once broke Maradonas ankle and later kept the boot he did it with in a glass case at home. Which gets brownie points from me because I don't like Maradona, the fat little coke-addled cheating twat.

For some reason, this reminded me of the time (82 World Cup I think) when Harald Scumacher tried to decapitate Patrick Batiston

Handsome chap. I'm more of a Boris Karloff unfortunately........................

Feel bad for Harald Schumacher, he actually turned mid-air to avoid hitting him with his knees, otherwise it would've been even more serious.

 

[8lade]

Carragher, did Tonge in the first 5 minutes of the second leg and that probably 'won' the tie for them. (That and Heskey swinging from Murphy's neck like an oversized piece of bling all game).

The forearm smash made things a lot better I have to admit.

Are you suggesting it was an act of cynicism from the German player?

Seems a bit far fetched

Doesn’t look quite so hard or tough here does he?

Agreed he was a dirty little twat though

Don't know who that is in the background (Giles?) but he's thinking "Fuck that, I'm not getting involved"

Dave McKay was a proper tough nut, but a great player. He hated that picture as he thought it made him look a bully which he wasn’t.
The rest of the right minded world just loved the look of fear on that dirty little twats face!

I think its been mentioned before in this forum that McKay had just come back from a broken leg and Bremner had just taken a hack on the same leg. McKay was incensed and his words were quoted along the lines of "Do that again wee man and I'll kick you over the fucking grandstand"!

 

[bornablade]

Johnny Giles and Ken Knighton.

 

[torridon]

Gareth Ainsworth, for that tackle/assault on Dane Whitehouse at Port Vale, dirty twat. Certainly not a hard man though a cowards tackle and an arrogant shit who believes he did nothing wrong that day.
