That says a lot about yourself does'nt it.

Terry Newton hands down.
Calmed down a bit for the last couple of years, paving the way for Ryan Bailey as the new hate figure.

I can only really comment on the SL era though.

Single worst incident I can remember was an elbow by David Bradbury of Oldham, breaking Lee Harland's jaw. As for dirty I remember Bruce McGuire having a bit of a reputation in the mid 90's.

From a Saints perspective we once had:

Arkwright, Round, Forber, Evans and Haggerty in the pack which would have made for interesting viewing. I recall Steve Peters being around slightly earlier, although Peters was just a hardman for a smaller player.

The 1980's to early 90's was a period (probably like earlier generations) laden with 'enforcers,' 'hitmen' and 'no nonsense' type players.

David Hobbs, Ron Wileman and Steve O`Neill.

The late Joe Price, who played for Warrington from the late sixties until the early seventies was an absolute animal on the pitch and made Make Nicholas look like a Saint.

Can't believe no one has mentioned Nick 'lead with the elbow' Fozzard?

Ryan Bailey
Terry Newton
Willie Mason

You just have

Shane Cooper, a sly coward.

can't believe nobody has mentioned Keith Senior (the man with the cheap shot on BJ Mather)

Shaun Edwards was a niggly bastward

Tommy Bishop, when he played for Sin Tellins.

He was alright for GB however.

My Dad says Jim Mills, some of the stories on that site aout him are hilarious though.

"Went to a dinner last month that had Andy Gregory as a guest speaker. He was asked to describe JIm Mills (who he had played with early in his career). He said that he was 'Tempermental - 50% temper, 50% mental'.

He talked about a game when he was on the bench. Mike Nicholas (spelling) hit Jim Mills with a high tackle early in the game, leaving him on the floor. The ref (Billy Thompson) called Nicholas out. As he did, Mills shouted "Leave him on Billy". Nicholas gets to the ref, who gives him a caution. He says "Am i not going off then?". The ref replied "Not yet, but very likely in the foreseeable future". He left on a stretcher soon after."
