Reyt hard bstads!

Hardest United 11 then:

1. Fatty Foulkes
2. Bradders
3. Joe Bolton
4. Vinnie
5. Morgs
6. Trevor Hockey
7. Hartfield
8. Martin Kuhl
9. Big Bad Billy (Captain)
10. George Santos
11. Dane

I think we need a good ref for this one...!

I wouldn't have Vinnie Jones anywhere near a team like this - Kamara would slot in nicely.

I'd also probably put Glynn Hodges in for Dane

As for a ref we'd be better off with the riot squad!

remember once (i think it was against forest) and we had a corner and Kamara was pointing at one of their players and orchestrating the entire kop in a chant of 'wanker.. wanker'.. complete with corresponding hand gestures..

Billy Whitehurst and Morgs for me too, both as hard as granite. If anyone can remember the upstairs bar in Josephines in the 90's, I was sat on one of those stools at the bar enjoying a pint when I get a couple of taps on the shoulder and a bloke says "Heyup pal, give your seat up for the lady will yer?"

I turned round with the intention of telling this bloke to go fuck himself, until I realised it was Billy with a tidy looking blonde on his arm. I spluttered summat like "No problem Billy, up the Blades mate " as I got my arse off the stool as quickly as possible.

Got a handshake and a wink from him for my troubles as I sloped off, utterly shamefaced .

No, this one...

He was a Glaswegian and not only that, he was Scottish too. It's a well known fact that Scottish Glaswegians are psychopaths and are usually only employed by bad men who are hell bent on world domination through nefarious means. That Jaws guy from The Spy Who Loved Me grew up on the same estate as Nevin. I think.

I think I read somewhere that during one match at Goodison Park, Tony Cottee was baring down on goal with Nevin unmarked at the far post. Instead of squaring the ball to Nevin for an easy tap in, Cottee tried a speculative shot from an acute angle and put it into the side netting. Nevin was furious and went ballistic. Carrying his fury into the half time break, it's said that he nipped into the sponsors lounge and put 3 or 4 pool balls into a spare sock. He went looking for Cottee and and found him in the toilets where he set about him with his pugil sock, repeatedly hitting him about the head and smashing his face into the sink while shouting "Who's the daddy now..? Who's the daddy now...?" Needless to say, Cottee never came back out for the second half and never played again for the rest of the season. Fortunately for Everton and the manager Colin Harvey, Cottee had been carried off just before half time with a broken leg so they were able to cite that for his non appearance to the unsuspecting media and fans. Only a few people knew what really happened.

Whitehurst? Don't make me laugh....

"He went looking for Cottee and and found him in the toilets, Cottee had been carried off just before half time with a broken leg"

Sounds like Cottee was the hard one?

We need a new Morgs or Whitehurst.

I wonder what they'd have made of the Hartlepool and Yeovil performances. They certainly wouldn't let it happen again!

I heard that Blackman wore gloves today. That's be an instant substitution for lack of hardness.

He wore gloves but did at least have short sleeves on.

All these Whitehurst stories and I still know one or two that haven't emerged yet! And I wasn't even around at the time.

Tony Adams said that when he was at Arsenal the captain decided on long or short sleeves shirts for the whole team. They used to pick short sleeves in cold weather to wind up the foreign players who preferred long sleeves, but had to wear what the captain picked.
