Don't forget johny giles, a dirty little bastard. In fact if my memory serves me well (no certainty ) wasn't he one of jack Charlton's, "two to do".

Johny Giles in Jack's 'two to do'? I very much doubt it. Johny and Jack were good friends and team mates.

The 'black book' was a 'joke' in the leeds dressing room. There wear some players Jack despised though;
Bertie Auld
George Kirby
John Morrissey

 

[1986]

Giles never denied dishing it out , but argued that the main reason he did it was because he took a lot of punishment as he was so small and other players took advantage of that . Giles is really small , but stocky , and in those times you were pushed around if you weren't big enough or if you could play a bit and other bigger lads couldn't .

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Was just the way the game was in the past. Bully got shocking treatment (hence being more or less done at 33) but he more than gave as good as he got. He'd get sent off all the time now.

Not an aspect I particularly miss, if I want to see a scrap I'll watch Tyson Fury.

 

[Kenny]

I think we should have more scraps between teammates though

 

[leedswolf]

Do we need a "You've got your football's enforcers wrong" thread?

[lemonjelly]

Yep.

I remember 2 Huddersfield lads going at it at Molineux in the 90s too.

Then there was Le Saux and Batty in Europe for Blackburn.

Any others?

Especially during 6-1 away wins!!

Grobbelaar and McManaman before it was cool to scrap with your team mates.

Tbf, I'd want to chin McManaman too.

Tom Cowan and future coke dealer Mark Ward.

Same game when Goodman got his fractured skull.

This will all come in handy one day.

Tony Pulis headbutted James Beattie while naked, although I imagine he was still wearing a baseball cap

Quite the mental image.

Fergie on Beckham

Was it Keane who roasted Schmeichal's balls with a tea kettle?

 

[Kenny]

Joey Barton v any team mate he deemed weaker than him and/or facing the other way

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Ex-Wolf Dan Jones (fucking bellend and rubbish footballer) smashed the club captain while at Port Vale
