JohnClement Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 My Nominations (1) Martin Kuhl -absolute untalented thug -ashamed he ever played for us (2) Robbie Savage -3rd rate clogger and diver but by the time we signed him, he was too slow to tackle anyone -ashamed we signed him. (3) Kenny Burns -absolute thug -good player but past it when he joined us. Over the years we haven't had many out and out cloggers which is to the clubs credit.

G STAR RAM Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Only watched since the early 80s so can't comment on any before that:- 1 - Mick Harford 2 - Martin Kuhl 3 - Seth Johnson (not a really dirty player but was always kicking someones ankles) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamNut Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Please don't anyone mention Dave Mackay just because he was listed on TV in footballs hard men. Dave Mackay was NOT a clogger or dirty. He was the best, hardest tackler ever and wasn't best pleased by the implication that he was dirty. The art of tackling is becoming lost so that now people confuse tackling with fouling. Dave was the master. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamNut Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Bruce Rioch could hurt when he was in the mood to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnClement Posted January 4, 2013 Author Share Posted January 4, 2013 Mackay, Rioch & Johnson were Rams all time greats -3 of my heroes. The appalling Mick Harford is a worthy nomination. I can remember us beating Luton 1-0 & him getting sent off against us after about 15 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alph Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Worse I've seen was Seth. Not really spiteful though just wasn't a wuss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCFCfranco Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 I've never really seen us have a dirty player. Ben Davies always has a muddy shirt so I'll go with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smiffy Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Chick Musson and Glyn Davies kicked a few. Glyn Davies was the first player I saw kick an opponent and walk towards the tunnel without waiting for the ref :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuespachRam Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 You have got to be kidding haven't you.... Mick Harford was an excellent striker, i wish we had someone with 2% of his bravery now. If you read anyone's autobiography from that era they all list him as the toughest opponent to play against. Great player. How any one can list Seth as a "hard man" is beyond me, he ran around a lot and dived in, but hard.....nope, not at all.....about has "hard" as Disco Darryll. Savage wasn't hard......he might have thought he was, but he wasn't at all. Kuhl was great. Georgie Williams.....now that is how to tackle. Marco Gabbiadini was a spiteful little player when he wanted to be, never ducked out of a tackle and would often leave a stray leg flying around. Great shout for Mental Mickey.... brilliant.

CornwallRam Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 http://dspace.dial.pipex.com/bob.dunning/dmackay Dave Mackay was dirty sometimes 'http://www.dcfcfans.co.uk/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':lol:' /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duracell Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Not had many "dirty" players in my time, they've all been too timid. We have a pretty honest squad right now...Jamie Ward's diving is about as dirty as our game gets these days. We do have some "tough" guys out there, I am convinced that Jake Buxton would run through a brick wall for Clough, and I'm not using that as a figure of speech. But dirty? No one springs to mind. I'm pretty certain that under Clough we haven't had a player sent off for violent conduct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddie Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 One of the slyest was Alan Durban - he could ankle-tap with the best of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brammie Steve Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 I used to love Franny Lee's air of injured innocence whenever a ref suggested he might have been less than perfect. Again hard but not dirty...just don't get him angry! [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jPZnXgKl70I]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jPZnXgKl70I Anyone else remember him crawling into the penalty area when he was chopped down on the edge. Maybe that was a bit naughty too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hucknall Ram Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 3 - Seth Johnson (not a really dirty player but was always kicking someones ankles) You try to tell Lee Bowyer that when Seth took him out on his Derby debut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StockholmRam Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Dont know about dirty but we have had a number with a real nasty streak to their game aswell as being able to play a bit too. Roy McFarland Bruce Rioch John Gregory Gabbiadini George Williams I LOVE these types of player... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butthead Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Harford could give it out if he was on the receiving end but would'nt say he was dirty. He did put Psycho on the floor at the CG which I'll always remember. Kuhl was just lightweight and any late tackles was him just being slow and overweight, not intentional. Gabbiadini, good no nonsence striker. He broke Simon Coleman's leg on his return to the BBG, not sure if he meant it though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
