I doubt if Robson ever played against Tank.“I won't say he was dirty but certainly the hardest opponent was Jimmy Case," said former Manchester United skipper Bryan Robson, also not averse to putting the boot in. "He could certainly look after himself.”
That’s a good testimony from someone who would know. Admittedly, this is in context of his time at Liverpool, but I don’t remember Jimmy ever jumping out of a tackle while playing for the Albion.
You had to be there.He played tonight v Palace.
Adam el abd
Nope. That’s a clear foulWould VAR have let El Abd get away with the barging of the wall? Hypothetical question as the Championship still don’t have VAR
He was the original tankDes Tennant
Is anyone else old enough to have remembered him?
Just ask Lil FucciloPaul Clarke. Seemed a really lovely bloke but never pulled out of any tackle and seemed to win most of them.
Indeed. I was.You had to be there.
Oh yes, and a shout out for Dave Turner , he did like a tackle and mixing it!Des Tennant
