Ryan Harley?

 

[Left Footer]

Ryan Harley?

Must be the comedy entry like Dean Wilkins yesterday.

 

[Guinness Boy]

From what all the people even older than me say it's Tank. From my own memory it's Oatway. Going to have to go on what I saw rather than what I've been told.

 

[Beanstalk]

How's Harley got on that list?

 

[stewart12]

How's Harley got on that list?

Like Dean Wilkins in Group A, he was nominated and seconded in the nominations thread

 

[Beanstalk]

He didn't even get a red card in his career

 

[Flounce]

He didn't even get a red card in his career

Yes he did, I was at Orient when he got sent off for swearing at the ref. How hard is that?

Anyway if Clark doesn’t walk this I am abstaining from any future polls on the hardest player, he was about three times as hard as Oatway…at least, as was Baird

Baird gets bonus point for his punch up with Darren Moore

Not Wilkins, Ryan Harley...

We're in Group B now Flounce.

Apologies, I saw Dean Wilkins name in your quote!

 

[WhingForPresident]

Bristol Butcher A true warrior

 

[JJ McClure]

Bite him Charlie!

 

[rippleman]

Tank has to have been the hardest player I ever saw play for us. He was totally reckless. Great to have him on our side. I would have hated him if he had been an opponent.

"Clark is evil"!!

He could never play today

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

How's Harley got on that list?

I seconded him

That's how. Harley is the Honey Badger of this competition. Looks cute but will rip your face off if you touch his pre match fragrance

 

[stewart12]

Martin Thomas did a siding tackle with his own head and is being beaten by Ryan Harley

No wonder this country is going to the dogs

 

[Morvangull]

No doubt in my mind that Clark would plough through all the others listed if they were in the opposition.

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

Clark would chew Oatway up and spit him out, much, much harder….

 

[jcdenton08]

It’s Dangerous Ryan Harley. Nasty thug

I’m not old enough to have seen Clark in action, but I was there to see Baird willingly go toe-to-toe with the absolute mountain that is Darren Moore

 

[Lenny Rider]

I've got to Oatway after his sending off at Darlington in 199 for biting, the Luis Suarez of Withdean.
