22A Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 In recent times we've had threads on here regarding City's fattest, or thinnest, shortest or tallest player. Following Dan Bentley's altercation at Stoke which City player would you not want to fight with? To start the ball rolling; Enoch Shounmi followed by Fammi. Given their upper body strength John Galley and Mike Gibson would also be wise to avoid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always remember the Gloucester Cup game under Osman when Rovers turned up & expected us to be the soft touch we had been for years, Ian Baird elbowed one of their players on the blindside of the ref & as the gas players all ran over to get involved Martin grabbed Marcus Browning around the throat & wouldn’t let go, I genuinely thought he was going to strangle him. Browning absolutely shit himself & went nowhere near Martin for the rest of the match. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sglosbcfc Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 1 hour ago, Red said: Mick Harford The winner, when this topic has been discussed in a whole football sense, consistently Mick Harford and Duncan Ferguson's names have been mentioned. Wimbledon players like Vinnie Jones and John Fashanu both reckon Harford was the man nobody would mess with. The stories about Ferguson are legendary and started when he was a teenager for Dundee United. He was started on by 2 Dundee fans when he was only 17 and he knocked them both out. The stories continue in a similar vein to the present day. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OneCity Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 (edited) Remember in one match years ago, an opposition defender took out one of our players (can't remember who) with a pretty rough challenge, then Mark Aizelwood casually walks the length of the pitch, strolls right up to his face and chins him. Aizelwood was a proper hard nut. Also playing in defence at that similar time was Glenn Humphries (nickname psycho), and John Pender. That's what you call a proper defensive unit.
