The original TANK!

Just a few years before my time, those were the days though...Maybe fitter and quicker and more quality these days, but take me back to 1 sub and a mans game anyday.

[The Large One]

Not wise to argue with Hans Kraay, I felt.

the dirtiest player i ever saw play was souness,the hardest i think would be stuart pearce, for Brighton i think in recent times it took a lot to stop Danny cullip

Cullip
El Abd

 

[Spun Cuppa]

Jimmy Case

Total header

(Just as an aside, I was having a conversation with a bro about tattoos on players, which are common as muck these days, but in the mid-eighties, there was only one player I can remember with a tat.........Stuart Pearce in his Notts. Forest days....)

Cullip
El Abd

El abd ? goes down clutching his face at the slightest touch.....El abd is as hard as a 102 year old dick

 

[wigman]

El Abd

 

[Spun Cuppa]

El Abd

El Abd looks like a case, but only because he is never quick enough to get the ball and usually clatters the oppo

I know we mean the mean machine that was Paul Clark and he will always get my vote... at the time he was my favourite player...

... but believe he wasn't the original tank... there was actually one before..... who was it?

More to do with conning the referee, I would have thought?

I saw a few Wimbledon games during the Crazy Gang era and most of them were pretty brutish.

I watched a game (can't remember which) when the legendary Terry Hurlock was sent off (possibly for the last time in his career). He was an immense nutter.

This is a list compiled by the Times.

I can't really think of any Brighton hard men. I started watching in 1990. Case was too fat and slow to be considered a hard man, by the time he rejoined the club.

None of those mentioned are in the same street as Dave Mackay ex Spurs followed by Norman Hunter.

 

[Northstander]

Brighton has to be Jimmy Case

Other teams - Stuart Peace for me
