[Albion] What is the best tackle you've ever seen on a football pitch?

[papajaff]

He made some crazy good tackles in that game but my favourite one is this against Jairzinho

My apologies Swansman, that's the one I was talking about.

 

[The Optimist]

I feel like Peter Smith made some great tackles, especially against Liverpool in the cup but I can’t actually name a specific one.

 

[DJ NOBO]

Fozzie was the king of this . Even second spell.

 

[Gwylan]

Nice !!!

People talk about the Leeds side being dirty (which they were, none of them would last 90 minutes today) but that Chelsea team were a a bit tasty too. Harris, McCreadie, Webb and Osgood could all put it about a bit

 

[Seasidesage]

ANY Paul 'Tank' Clark or Hans Kraay tackle.

I was going to say, can't remember which year or which game but it will have been Paul Clark, now that was one hard *******

 

[WhingForPresident]

Mascherano literally tore himself a new one in the process.

Fully with you,Chelsea just did it yet Leeds played the 'niggle' game ?

Martin Thomas with his head at Withdean. It remains a tragedy that neither this nor Charlie's Millennium Diary are on YouTube.

That was sheer brilliant madness.

Love this little set of Bobby Moore tackles against Brazil in the 1970 world cup.

Bobby Moore against Pele, Mexico 1970.

I used to try this regularly when I played. Biggest compliment one game... "great Bobby Moore tackle"

Did I not give you enough to choose from? I still remember our pre-match chat, 'just win the f***ing thing and give it to someone who can play football'.

It was so much easier in the 80s

I have gone straight to the end of the thread.
I am now going to go to page 1 where I fully expect to see that picture of a player with his meat and 2 veg on view.
I'm going to say page 2.

Edit I should have said post number 2.

Paul Clark on Dennis Mortimer, 1st minute of our game at home to Villa on 20th Dec 1980. Fair challenge. Sent Mortimer about three foot in the air. Brighton won that 1-0.

ANY Paul 'Tank' Clark or Hans Kraay tackle.

In particular Paul Clark's tackle on Dennis Mortimer in the first few minutes of a game against Aston Villa at The Goldstone. Must have been around 1980. Mortimer was their main midfield general, and that tackle was for a loose ball and made most people in the ground shudder it was so powerful. Mortimer was quiet after that. What a lump of wonderful testosterone Clark was.

Snap - you just beat me to it!

I couldn't resist

 

[Robinjakarta]

I can remember being left in awe after witnessing a Mark Lawrenson tackle in his first match for us

Same here, but he made great tackles every game with superb timing. Best non-Albion I'd say Dave Mackay. His buddy Jimmy Greaves likened a Mackay tackle to being hit by an express train.

The phrase ' statement of intent' best sums up that tackle. Mortimer was one of the best midfielders in the country at that time, and after that tackle he was very quiet.
