Anyone want to submit a team of the dirtiest/hardest players to have worn the city shirt?
Don't think we've had many dirty players but a few hard men.
Fergie FB (for his all or nothing sliding tackles).
Deccie CB (general tough defender)
Herrick CM? (been sent off a for a few over the top tackles in hsi time)
I don't consider him a dirty player but Johnny C was always a great man for leaving legs and arms flying around...
Yeah Johnny C has been prone to the odd dive "now 'n then" in the last couple of years as hes not as fast as he was. IMO could only include him if desparate for a forward on the team ;)
I'm a Derrynane side regular and as we all know Caulfield played right mid last season.
How he got away with so many fouls i'll never know. he was always either tugging shirts, knicking heels or giving little elbows to his marker and never got caught. Its no wonder opposing fans hate him so much. I'd imagine he is a right B0llix to mark! He does know all the fouling tricks anyway.
yea damn right he's a right ****** to mark. i had to do it in a gaa game a few years ago, and for the entire match all he did was hold onto my jersey, ankle tap and hit me!!!
still the phucker only scored a point off me :D
To be fair Caulfield is a sturdy player but so is Mulligan.He always stays on his feet and tries to create chances instead of diving and taking the easy option!!
How many penalties have we recieved as a result of him diving in all the time he's been with us??
How has Greg O'Halloran not been mentioned so far? If you got on the wrong side of him you'd know about it! He could never go 3 games without getting booked at least once. :mad:
why hasn't anyone mentioned Patsy "master of the ankle tap" Freyne?
Ankle tap isn't hard or dirty but legitimate tackle!!! weel thats my line & i'm sticking to it ;)
Jeez have city had a team of wussies all these years we can't remember 11 hard men let alone dirty?
