For those of us who are uneducated on these souls you mention, how about explaining why they are 'nutters'. What did they do to earn such an accolade in your view?

Remember Johnny Lawless telling us about the first time he met that Mcdougal brother(at least i think it was him) in the gym. Johnny said hello to him and first reply he got back was "F*** Off". Apparently a very strange bloke.
Was it Narynx(spelling escapes me) whos first contribution to the Fax cause was to pee on the Jumping Jaks bar?

Never known any fax player get so many opponents to swing for them good lad.

Maybe Nutters is a strong word james but ones who pushed the limits on / Off the field.

I've never seen a lot of those you mentioned, so I was asking why they were considered nutters.

Yes James certainly cuts an imposing figure outside of the game and is not someone i would want to cross.

For me the legend that is Brendan Hill must also be something that doesn't come round very often. not what i would call a nutter, just a freakishly powerful man who only an idiot wouldnt show any respect to.

I think Hardest Fax player would be a good one. Im sure people who vote for the wildman, but Brendan would be without any doubt the most powerful fax player.

Most intelligent Fax player anyone?

Hes got to come higher in the list than Penky no offence Sean but you and those clowns that have got tatoos all over you dont seem too bright

Nothing wrong with tattoos.

George Standidge was a fiery red-headed prop who was well feared on the pitch, he was great to watch.
Tony Garforth was another prop who could dish it out a bit.

Well Ken Roberts went on to have and still does have, a very successful business empire and Oli Marns is now a Solicitor. Both must have something upstairs.

Yes George was an absolute legend in his short time at Thrum Hall. I spent a few hours chatting with him in the bar at the Weavers when he was the matchday guest. An absolutely top bloke.

I remember him getting sent off at an away match, think it was at Fev but I could be wrong. I asked him if there was any truth in the rumour that he pulled the home team changing room door off its hinges in an attempt to get to the bloke that got him sent off. He replied there was no truth whatsoever in it. He did not pull the door off its hinges. It was a sliding door, pulled it off its runners was his reply.

Also remember Ken Isaacs playing for Fax. A very short temper, would throw punches for fun and for no apparent reason.

Cleverest player is a good one, Chris Anderson must be up there, to take the side he had to win the League and Challenge cup he must of had a pretty good rugby brain.
Ken Loxton was probably the best we had in the early 80's. Very underated player

Remember Paul Langmack, didn't he come to blows with David Hobbs (may be corrected on this) but i think it was hobbs that knutted Langmack resulting in Hobbs having to go off with a badly cut head and Langmack playing on without any problems.

And lets not forget Lindsay Johnson, That punch on the Wigan player, can't remember his name think it was the hooker, in the Regal trophy final was ace. I can remember a wigan fan who came and stood by us at half time saying he heard his(wigan player) nose crunch from the stands.

Hey Colin! Ask Pete Emmett about George Standige! Wouldnt mess with him and he must be 70.
