Bob The Badger Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 I have no idea how I stumbled upon Gerry Gow this morning, but I had no idea he was dead. Steve Emery is lucky he isn't dead mind you after the tackle Gow put on him in a night match up at Millmoor when he broke his leg. I think that's the worst tackle I ever saw.

FindernRam Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 1.Norman Hunter on Frannie Lee. Joint sending off and major punch up on way to changing rooms 2. Any Leeds tackle in the Revie era 3. Any Leeds tackle ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RebelScum Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Mickey Lewis in the mid 80s... TBH don't remember that much about it (or even if it was a foul) just remember that he had a spasm whilst on the ground. Shaun Barker by Mad Frankie Fielding against forest May 2012 ? Is Frank Lampard our manager yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sage Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 How actually got booked in the second minute for a really bad foul on Emery then broke his leg in a horror tackle 2 minutes later. Mick Harford on Mel Sage was pretty bad. Oh and Mickey Droy on Mark Lillis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Emery is lucky he isn't dead mind you after the tackle Gow put on him in a night match up at Millmoor when he broke his leg. I think that's the worst tackle I ever saw. I posted his death at the time but it was removed by the mods : too contentious I assumed. My reaction as soon as I saw this thread was "Gow, Rotherham away, Steve Emery". Horrendous tackle which, IIRC, broke his leg in four places. Phil Gunter's tackle at the BBG which effectively finished Tommy Powell's career was not very edifying, together with Pat van den Hauw's on Ted McMinn. And does anyone remember the tackle by ? Smith, number 10 for Newcastle against Birmingham on MOTD in late 60s or early 70s. Took the Birmingham right winger out at knee height straight from the kick off, possibly holds the dubious records, in the UK at least, of (a)getting sent off without touching the ball and (b) within 10 seconds of the kick off. At half time, we were informed that Newcastle had terminated his contract on the spot - probably prevented a riot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to remember being 1-0 up with them missing a penalty and Gow in the dressing room and we still managed to lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ivo_knoflicek Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Gary O’Neill on Johnny Russell at Wembley was one of the most cynical, and significant, though didn’t actually do him any damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinder Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Can’t remember the foul but it was on Ted McMinn and led to Mark Wright charging half the length of the pitch to knock him out. I met Ooh Mark Wright a few years ago and he said he had to do it - the guy had nearly chopped Ted in two! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North East Ram Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Pearce on McMinn every game by the 3rd minute. He put Ted almost over the advertisement hoardings on the Executive Stand side at the CG one year. Didn’t even give a foul. Their scummy fans were drooling over it. Baztuds. Ref’s used to bottle it every time. Someone broke Hooks/Taylor/Lewis leg at the BBG in about 84/85 and you could hear the crack from the other end of the pitch. Mind you, there was only about 9000 there so pretty quiet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As was his wont, he went in hard on the opponent and his head caught the knee or boot of the opponent and he was in danger of swallowing his tongue. Thankfully Super Gordon Guthrie was quickly out of the dugout to avert a more serious situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't see it but my mum, who is not prone to such outbursts, did and told me after the game it was absolutly deliberate and she hoped the ducking see you next Tuesday Yorke gets his ducking legs broken.
