I don't think I saw that player go in the box for the rest for the game.

a few of the books i read suggest he was strong as an ox and not to be £#%&!ed with, i seem to remember reading about him picking another player up with one hand and launching him into the showers after find the toes cut off his socks again or some jape

paul ince has to be up there

Why not rename the thread "Hardest United Player of the last 30 or so years ?"

I'd lay money that some part time sheet metal worker playing in the early part of the 20th century for united would scare the afore mentioned suggestions to death

My trade that and I'm soft as shit. MOTWYW.

I've always reckoned Steve Bruce to be a bit of a hard nut, in his playing days anyway.

Was it Fergie who said he looked like a bad boxer? Now he looks like Bernard Cribbens.

He's big,
He's bad,
Its Wesley Brown,
The hardest man in all the town,
With orange hair beware,
Come and have a go if you dare...

Was it in Red Ish or UWS they had an article about him a while back?

I do reckon he'd be a £#%&!er to fight though, with that face he'd feel £#%&! all and he just looks cart-horse strong.

I seem to remember him fronting up to Vinnie Jones after he tried to kick Cantona off the park once. Vinnie shit it.

I will throw in Stepney as a dark horse as most have already been mentioned.

Could have done some serious damage with his belly in the late 70s.

Sir Alex would have @#%&!ted them all, nqat.

Alan Smith.

I bet Joe Jordan could handle himself.
