The racist abuse Didzy got yesterday really got under my skin.

Whilst the rational part of me feels the only way to stop or reduce abuse like this is through empathy or education... the irrational part just wants to punch racists to the floor and then kick them till they piss claret for a few weeks.

So, to indulge that impulse for a bit of relief - hypothetically, if you could choose one Blade past or present to be our “enforcer” (to get a legal immunity to ‘physically educate’ anyone who racially abuses another Blade), then who would it be?

Only one man for this... Chris Morgan.
 
Morgs.
Doyle looked like he may know a few dark acts....kneecappings and the like.
Doug Hodgson. Always seems a bit of a hard fella, but that lunatic Billy Whitehurst Would be my choice!

Unfortunatley proper punishment has slowly been deemed unacceptable these days and this country is starting to feel the results of the namby pamby approach to punishment as the entitled masses with zero concerns for consequences take root. So realistically it would be frowned upon, but I’m afraid the only thing that folk understand is punishments getting harder and harsher til they understand it’s time to pack it in!!
 
Georges Santos, Patrick Suffo, Keith Curl, Billy Whitehurst, Carl Bradshaw, Chris Wilder, Chris Morgan, Vinnie Jones.... I wonder how long it would take the small minded idiot, hiding behind Twatter, take to soil their underwear during a philosophical chat with any of these Blades. 'Twatter' offering a platform for cowards for over a decade.

Over the years we've had a variety of uncompromising 'players'. I'd go so far as to compare them with the game's hardest and dirtiest, not out of some sense of misplaced pride, but just because they wore the shirt.

How could anyone compare with Billy Whitehurst? This guy was born to be head bouncer, the toughest of the tough, and if confirmation were needed Vinnie Jones is on record as giving that title to Whitehurst. I don't want to romanticise our hard men, but because of the area, those who come far and wide to support this great club, but I've always viewed United as an essentially working class club (even if the players earn thousands and the directors receive remunerations in their thousands).
Historically we've underachieved, but we're what you might describe as cynical optimists, so onward and upward. In some part it helps to explain the surprise, even shock, of watching this club being taken by the scruff of the neck by a certain Mr Wilder, as he and his oh so important second in command, Mr Knill, shape and form their players, sometimes without sentiment as players come and go, but more often than not with a clear and progressive style of play that has reaped immense rewards.

For the first time in watching this team, probably 50+ years, the levels of pleasure I get from watching mostly underrated players excel against supposedly 'better' players is mostly on a level that's difficult to describe. Not only are we good, we're becoming a club to be reckoned with. Our latest scalp was Chelsea, a club that spends millions without blinking an eye, and yet they entered the arena to discover that reputations count for nothing............

I must apologise, I've rambled and gone off message. My only excuse is the sense of pleasure that Wilder and company are bringing to us, the hardened supporters. Can't thank 'em enough!
 
Morgan hasn't got the nastiness off the pitch.
I'll go for James Hanson. Looks daft enough to do it and big enough to do damage.
 

Sun Jihai and Hai Haidong. Sheffield United's answer to Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan
 
It's Billy Whitehurst, there is no one else in his league. Plenty of stories of what he did away from the football pitch, and everyone knew he wasn't a man to mess around with.

Think it was Alan Hansen who said that if you had shown a bit of skill on the pitch and made Billy look bad, he would come up behind you, later in the game and whisper "i'll be waiting in the tunnel for you at half time......." and you basically soiled your self.
 
Racists are not footballers so its not footballers job to damage them? They are already mentally ill fuckwits so the answer has to be when anyone witnesses it to let them know the cowardice they are spouting is not acceptable.

You obviously can't see David Cotterill hiding behind him!

Cotterell looks like he's got that wiry, weasle strength where he could at least hit and move. Graham Stuart? No attributes in this category at all other then he may scratch your hand on his hair gel

Cotterill was the most nesh player I have ever seen in a United shirt, and I've seen a lot.
 
I recall Wally Downes was a force to be reckoned with. Len de Goey on the other hand was afraid of the ball if memory serves me correct.
 
In the current side, I bet Lunny and JOC are pretty handy in a scrap. Both units and both box.
