Derek George!

Who did Lee Crooks smack at Boothferry Park when he played for GB?
That was a good bust up.

Knuckles for me too..

Bit harsh by Greenhill that. I though Barry George got cleared for the Dando murder

Hame takes a lot of beating, he was fireworks before he was "advised" to change his style

it was hogan who got laid out in floodit final by woods, he was a hard bugger, for me mike harrison has to be up there,he still looks like he could dish it out, skerritt stone and v farrar, rose radford also hard lads, graham walters was also a judo champ,

We're discussing "hard" not "fat and mad".

Most metioned so far would consider it a poor job if they got sent off and the opposing player wasn't carried off

Les Boyd

paul woods was a hardman if the player was a little half back or a skinny winger good riddance

Keyboard warriors - don't you just love them!!!! This one isn't worth keeping

also got sent off at headingley 1982 for flattening max krilich the hooker

Tell that to Phil Hogan.

The first part of your post you are, of course, entitled to even though you are clearly incorrect but the "good riddance" bit, especially directed at someone who died of leukaemia at a relatively young age, is beyond belief.

My abiding memory of Woodsy was a game at Thrum Hall once. Halifax booted the ball downfield and Woods, as only he could do, returned it with considerable interest. He didn't look for a gap on the fringes or choose any of the backs to run at. Instead, he picked out their biggest prop and ran full pelt at him. The collision was astonishing, Woodsy slammed into the prop, knocking him back three or four yards but the impact took it's toll on him too. Both players needed attention over the next minute or so. He was certainly a player who had moments he would rightly be ashamed of but he had far more courage and heart than the vast majority of players I have ever seen.

Of the current squad I'd say that it's Radford, his reputation for being able to handle himself precedes him and you don't see too many people having a go.

Paul Woods is a bit before my time but this thread's making him sound like an absolute legend.
