There were some guys from the 60s, 70s and 80s who were said to be hard.

Dave McKay stands out as one. Chopper Harris as another. They might just have been on pitch hard men, though.

Tbh he always had the face of a hardman.


I really like the Rest is Football podcast with him, Lineker and Richards constantly slagging each other off.

Haven't heard it but probably decent.

I am making one post on this as Andresito doesn't like this sort of talk or off-topic stuff - but Shearer is a good looking bald bloke. Good body too. I can imagine women thinking he's the rough and ready type.

OTOH, Danny Murphy looks like a troll.

How is it off topic? We're talking about Prem hardmen in a Prem thread.

I don't know how much you know about Liverpool's history, but if you haven't heard of him, google Tommy Smith. Bit of a hard nut.

Smith used psychological ploys to threaten and intimidate opposition players.[43] That said, he certainly had the respect of his peers, with fellow professional Jack Charlton once saying "Tommy Smith was easily the hardest player I faced. I ran into him once and he knocked every ounce of breath out of me. I tried to get up and look like he hadn't hurt me, but he had."[44]

Manager Bill Shankly once said of him: "Tommy Smith wasn't born, he was quarried".[45]

Smith was nicknamed "The Anfield Iron" and it was said that "Merseyside mothers kept his picture on the mantelpiece to keep their kids away from the fire". A common story stated that he "missed the 1978 European Cup Final after tripping on a pickaxe and injuring his foot. The pickaxe was a write-off"
