got to be Paul 'Maxie' Miller (complete thug) or Ben Thatcher (complete imbecile)

I am a city fan and was just about to post Thatcher
Although Barton is quite the lunatic outside the pitch

Between Norman "Bite's your legs" Hunter and Ron "Chopper" Harris, the nicknames say it all really..

I thought when we signed Lucas Neill he'd be bringing some nastiness to the hammers, but he's been very restrained. A class act as a player by the way though!

Both Norman Hunter and Ron Harris were hard men, but played more-or-less within the rules of the game as played at the time. They look far dirtier than they actually were because the game today is a sanitised version of the original!

If they took your legs away from behind, it's only because referees allowed them to do so... which of course they wouldn't do today.

julian dicks was a complete cock.
he fucked the career of ex charlton hero simon webster, breaking his leg with an appalling tackle in TRAINING!

We've had a few (Luton, that is)...Kevin Nicholls, Mick Harford, Mick Kennedy...but I'd probably have to go for our current full-back, Sol Davis! Every challenge he attempts makes Paul Scholes look like the best tackler in the world!

Hatter .. do you have any Mick Harford anecdotes ? I once heard a story about him and Tony Coton, it would have been when they played for Birmingham. Both of them were shall we say 'handy'.

Julian Dicks was and is a legend! Hard man and a top footballer! Simon Webster never had any quarrel with The Terminator over what happened, just one of those things sadly! Simon Webster was a very good centre half and would have played many top flight games i think.
