Whilst I agree Fozzy Bear was a tough character and indeed the speed he would run into other players was worrying. He did have a tendency to raise that forearm and just smash someone in the face.
Once a game every game he would just hit someone with that guard in the face, with the speed he was running at it never got picked up as much as it should.
Whilst yes he's a good player, I bet a lot of other prop's are happy to not see his forearm coming towards the,.

Name me a player who's been injured by an illegal forearm from Fozzard.
How many matches did he serve as bans following sending offs or citations? |

Why not? Is it not the case that in fact all Fozzard was guilty of was having an awkard, upright running style? |

Bailey was also cited around 6 times for raising the Knee and managed to escape with just £300 fine, doesnt mean he never did it?
Ben Cockayne was also never charged for dropping the knee on Turner, but we all know he did it: www.therfl.co.uk/disciplinary/item?2222 |

I'm just saying that Fozzy played prop for 15 odd years, if he genuinely led with the elbow regulary, there would be a list of memorable instances, injured players and substantial bans.
I would also suggest that he wouldn't be the extrodinarily popular character amongst teammates and oppostion that he apparently is.
