Hardest ever Brighton player.

Nobby Horton for me but Sully could be "tasty " when tackling and Harry Wilson took no prisoners sometimes.

Good call on Peter O'Sullivan.
Nasty if he wanted to be.

Chapman??

I think many of the contributors to this thread never saw Paul Clarke! Definitely the number one!

 

[chez]

Paul Clarke was a little early for me so I'm going with Jimmy Case followed by Doug Rougvie.

 

[Sloe Joe]

Ooh ah John McGrath ? (1970's)

A joke surely?

 

[Taybha]

Tony Grealish liked to mix it , i think Case just wins it for me,shant forget that tackle on Wilkins in the 83 final after about 2 minutes , spun him round like a top

 

[BRIGHT ON Q]

Clarke,Case,Briley,Kraay

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Anyway, the correct answer is Tommy Cook. Served in both World Wars and was a gallant man.

 

[John Byrnes Mullet]

Steve Jacobs, Hans Kray neither were softies.

I agree and also Rougvie and Case, in recent years it has to be Cullip, Oatway was not really big enough to be a hardman but Carpenter could be quite a hacker if he wanted to, saw kick out a few times.

I'll go with the original Tank. There was a "buzz of anticipation" in the North Stand when he went to retrieve the ball from someone that had dared to take it from him.

Des Tennant? Before my time but from what my father said he was one tough cookie. The next Tank, Ian Goodwin, was pretty tasty too.

I'd have to go with Paul Clark though, he was fearsome in the tackle and I'll never forget the time he broke Lil Fucillo's leg, the crack echoing around the Goldstone.

Clark, Goodwin, Kraay and Rougvie for me - but bearing in mind that Tennant should be in there somewhere.

Jimmy case and paul clark both tuff nuts.

or his captain Glen Wilson?

This.
But also had ability. The goal he scored against Spurs at the Goldstone was unbelievable. Seemed to beat virtually the whole team before slotting home. Maybe they were just too scared to tackle him!!
