dave mulcahy
Rennie
Both those ex Blues are tough out, especially Rennie, despite some people's misplaced hatred of the chap getting that very true statement shot down now. :D
But they're both only trotting after Foxy Tommy!
Couldn't argue with many of the choices of hard men for dishing out punishment... but my nomination for the "hardest" player I ever saw is Noel Larkin... defenders used to kick lumps out him but he never seemed to notice and of course always got better of them by banging in the goals
Difference between hard and dirty.
And whos the hardest playing at the minute?
Hey, there could be kids reading this :mad:Quote:

Shels long hairded right or left back springs to mind as recent dirty players. Cant remember his name.

Greg Costello? Most mentioned so far are more scumbags than proper hardmen. McNulty was a proper hardman
Some of the hardest players ever to play for UCD down the years.
We had Dermot Keely as a player for a spell in 1983.
Ken O'Doherty our goal scoring centre half who got the winner in the 1984. Cup Final was tough as old boots. Transferred to Crystal Palace in 1985. David Foster who was in and out of the team in the late 1980's and later played for Home Farm was described in a Club publication as " a gentle elegant player who eats guard dogs as a hobby" :D
Paul Fitzgerald who was right back in our promotion winning team in 1989 and later played for Monaghan was tough.
Richie Purdey has already been mentioned.
Not forgetting our former Hardcore Champion Mick O'Donnell.
Yah seems people got confused with dirty rather than hard.
Mick Moody was a hard*******, but you would expect that of him :D

Joe o' Mahony. He was one hard *******.. have a go Joe ! At true blue legend, none of the rest come near.
Keely for me.
Noel King was pretty tough too.
Tony Meaney RIP took no prisoners either.
Peter Hutton? Surprised to read that, elaborate.Quote:

Gerry Carr.
Also, Conor O'Grady was never afraid of a bad tackle either, unfortunately.
In my opinion.Quote:
