    surely this is worth a new thread, City's hardest players, but I can't see how to start one! Anyway I'll give you Bobby Campbell

    You can. Which ones? Press the little face in the middle of the toolbar. It gives you options. You cant always use the phone generated ones on here though

    I disagree Kevin. I think he was a good footballer and did like a battle.....but from what I recall whenever he lost a battle he turned nasty and took the man out with no pretence of going for the ball

    I get you're being tongue-in-cheek, but other than a hard learning curve, the red card didn't help anyone - us or him.

    But then the world's best players have been sent off at one point or another.

    Red cards won't end a career, but they are clearly a negative thing with no positive ramifications whatsoever. There isn't really an argument.

    In those days most teams had a lad who could win their fair share of 50/50 balls :oops:, and Trevor wasn't the biggest and played much of his football at Valley Parade on the wing, but during that era there were a few little guys who could put it about Giles & Bremner at Leeds. Bally could be a nasty little bugger.
    But I think Bobby Campbell would have fronted any of these hard men up.

    I used to be a frequent visitor to Bobby Campbells club in Huddersfield and, can assure you that he would front anyone up.
    Tough as teak. RIP

    Remember a match at Crewe. City were attacking the old cinder covered end, occupied by City fans. Free kick to City and Joe Cooke takes up position on the edge of the box. Before the kick is taken, two Crewe defenders sandwich Joe. Joe just turns to one of them and nuts him.

    Joe didn't even wait for the ref to send him off, he just trotted straight off the pitch.

    Eddie Youds was harder than them both and still wasn't as hard as Bobby Campbell.
