The following are yet to receive the second nomination

Charlie Oatway

Consider this a second nomination for Charlie Oatway.

 

[Chicken Run]

Second nomination for Willie Bell

Not enough people will remember Roy Jennings. He therefore won’t win this.

Has to be in it though.

Seconded.

Surprised Joel Veltman hasn’t been mentioned.

Very tough, never shirks a challenge, loves a battle.

 

[Seagull Stew]

Eric Young

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Phil Stant (google him, then tell me he's not)

 

[Perry Milkins]

Frank Worthington

Decked Henry Hughton iirc for that tackle on Gerry

Did that really happen?

[wellquickwoody]

Paul Clark.

 

[TugWilson]

Sammy Morgan

Perhaps not quite the same but Peter Ward got kicked up in the air every week and didn`t cry like they do now , so he was pretty hard in his way - just saying

Thirded and fourthded. Headed the ball harder than most players could kick it. No defender would ever kick him in the head for fear of a broken foot.
His trademark goal was a "towering" header from 1 yard out, smashing the keeper into the net along the way.

Not necessarily a hardnut, but I still marvel each fortnight or so at Sidders flooring Yann Kuntagent with an elbow to the back of his evil head. Sly and fierce, but justifiably vengeful.

After he had injured Rosenior?

 

[Charlie Livesey]

Eric Young

Good shout, I read that even John Fashanu swerved big Eric.

 

[Lego-Stand]

Another for Paul Clark..........."Tank is evil" used to ring around the Goldstone after a robust challenge or 2 !
