outoftheblue Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 Ronnie Blair. Scared of nothing, and if any fan dared to suggest he'd made a mistake, he'd pick them out in the crowd with his wild-eyed stare, reducing them to a quaking wreck.

th2003 Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 I once saw Darren Sheridan trying to run off a broken leg!! Doug Hodgson was the type of player who would run through a brick wall, trouble was he was so daft that if you called him back he would run through the wall again creating a different hole.

pukka Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 Doug Hodgson. I remember Furlong elbowing him as hard as he could. dougie brushed it off and played on. Blood everywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
athleticus Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 (edited) Alan Lawson. I used to feel for some of the players he downed never to rise again during the game. He couldn't do much else but Jesus I'd rather play against the Cray twins. Edited November 29, 2010 by athleticus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Complete empty head and total twit with an 'a', was unfortunate to spend some time in his company in an IOM nightclub. Stereotypical Aussie, thick as pig:censored: and a crap footballer to boot.

Sinnott Starbuck Ironside Foran He was as thick as pig excrement but he had his qualities. Can I be the first to give an honorable mention to Neil Trotman for stopping that Millwall fan getting to Lee Hughes. Most of the ones I would have suggested have already been mentioned.

Anyone see Trotters concussed at Accrington in the LDV in '07? Staggering like a Paddy on St. Patrick's Day, yet still trying to go up for headers - absolutely crazy!

Good shout! Carved out of granite and so superstitious that he refused the captaincy in the 1952/53 Div 3 (N) Championship winning team, because he liked to be the last on the pitch. He even frightened the photographer! Picture courtesy of Garth Dykes' book Oldham Athletic Complete Record 1899-1988. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

futchers briefs Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 Andy Holden, Ron Futcher, Graeme Sharp, Darren Mcdoghnut, Andy Gorton, Mike Milligan, John Kelly - All 'tough' in their own right. Some of Holdens sliding tackles on plastic were pretty scary/crazy!! Great to watch though. The 'infamous' picture of Sharp (whilst playing for the toffee men) and Milligan in one of our cup ties, shows two 'tough' 'uns giving no quarter - A great pic. Jobson, Linighan, Jones, Prenderville, could all put a tackle in as well, though not the enforcing type. Mini Shez didn't dominate enough for me to be classed with some of those.
