Suffolk_fox Posted 3 September 2006 Posted 3 September 2006 Big Man Gerry Taggs for sure. I met up with some lads in Belfast a few weeks ago, and they shouted his name as soon as I told them I was a City fan. The guy is a legend over there, and people from NI don't tend to be too soft as a rule...
eaststandtom Posted 4 September 2006 Posted 4 September 2006 Ali Mauchlen without a doubt!!!! Walshie 2nd
OzFox311 Posted 6 September 2006 Posted 6 September 2006 Has to be Taggart.. geez that man made me scared to be a Leicester supporter at times, was so tough and ready to blow up and throw one at whoever was peeving him at the time... Gerry Taggart gets the award for hardest Leicester player on that level, but on toughness as in courage and committment, not really sure... have to think about that one, there are a few though..
eaststandtom Posted 6 September 2006 Posted 6 September 2006 Mauchlen wasn't even in Walshy's league! what!!!!!!!!???? Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali!!!!!!!! Ali was the hard man of the team around 88-91. Walsh hadnt yet become the 'walshie' we know and love today.
Ultra Posted 6 September 2006 Posted 6 September 2006 what!!!!!!!!???? Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali!!!!!!!! Ali was the hard man of the team around 88-91. Walsh hadnt yet become the 'walshie' we know and love today. Total myth, I'm afraid. Ali did indeed play the hard man during his time with us. But he rarely lived up to it. I remember him being cleaned up by Chris Kamara at Stoke. A true hardman like Coatsworth or Hazell would NEVER have let that happen.
Fleckney Fox Posted 8 September 2006 Author Posted 8 September 2006 just ask david geddis how hard walshie hits people.
Thracian Posted 8 September 2006 Posted 8 September 2006 Graham Cross ........now he would 'eat ' a few modern players alive ! THE TANK !! He was easily overlooked as a hardman because he didn't go about looking to whack people unfairly. He just did his job competitively and never came off second best. One of the best players City ever had although McLintock was in much the same mould.
