Anyway, 4 times in a few weeks? The forum must be going to the dogs - you people need to seriously up your game. Where's Dutoni when you need him?

bar red Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Ian Bell, a centre for Barrow but was from the Hull clan. Was seen in a nightclub eating a pint glass. Great player on the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dkw Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Interesting to see Des Drummond get a few mentions. I never saw any fights with him in, but he used to crash tackle forwards with gusto, was hilarious seeing the look on the forwards face when they managed to get up. But I realised how tough he was when he played for town in an away match at Huddersfield. There was an all in scrap, fights breaking out everywhere. An Huddersfield prop ran at dessie who took a martial arts fighting stance, the prop stopped, shook his head, turned round and went looking for less scary prey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example, Ryan Bailey, in my opinion, was a thug and a nutjob, but not a hardman. While someone like, Shane Webcke was a hardman, but not a thug nutjob! It was funny to see the way he backed down against Lee Radford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chronicler of Chiswick Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 To go back a bit, how about Warrington and Fulham hooker John Dalgreen, whose career ground to a halt after belting a referee (think it might have been Gerry Kershaw) during a game at HKR.

That action is the epitome of being hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Stottle Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Another very hard man was the Leigh Fullback Mick Hogan not for punching anyone or getting into fights - but for his total disrespect for his own safety when defending, only being about 5'-10" and weighing never more than 11.5 stone he played for 12 years making 296 appearances, it didn't matter how big any attacker was he seldomly missed any one on one, such was his tackling technique he got concussed on quite a number of occasions and was stretchered from the field, later in life and he became quite ill for a number of years and sadly left us in his mid fifties, but for those who saw him, he leaves some wonderful memories.

If ever a bloke realised he'd picked on the wrong man. Is this the incident when Radford was sent off? I have never really understood the perception of that incident from fans. Yes, Bailey threw a few elbows in the tackle and caught Radford but then Radford swung three punches at Bailey while he was on all fours and didn't see them coming. Radford may be a tough guy but I don't think that incident proved it... if that incident were reversed and it was Bailey throwing punches at a blindsided player on the ground he would have been called all the names under the sun.
