    Dennis Rommedahl - Absolute nutter

    was trying to kick the palace player near him not the ball in the last minute at selhurst. Had the nickname "Mad Den" in the dressing room. Complete psycho, always loved a challenge.

    Probably not the dirtiest compared to most of the above but amongst the most cowardly: Finney (Sunderland) for his kick into Graham Tutt's face.

    In recent times, Gennaro Gattuso - the heir to Gentile, never a flat out nasty thug but carried out a stream of niggling fouls, elbows left in, going in slightly too hard and over the top and would then protest every free-kick given against him.

    Yeah. Gattuso was brilliant.

    I'm young-ish, so Muscat all the way for me. Even back in Oz he was still being a contempt worthy c***.

    Graham Roberts. I played against him once (in training). I went past him once he told me he would break my legs if I did it again. I did it again, he almost broke my legs. I never did it again.

    The word was that the bloke no-one took liberties with was Mick Harford. I'd guess the same about Duncan Ferguson, I suspect the question wasn't even asked in his case.

    Didn't Hermann have a bit of a ding dong with Ferguson at The Valley once which resulted in him (Ferguson) being sent off or is my memory playing tricks?

    EDIT: I was right!

    Terry Hurlock, Vinny Jones both of which I would've loved in our team

    These two were very high on my list, although I saw a lot of Vinnie and thought he got of a bad rap from refs. Then I got nostalgic and remembered "Chopper " Harris, Norman "bites yer legs" Hunter, Billy Bremner and Tommy Smith, all of them truly hardcore, I think they may have made Vinnie quiver a little.

    Lots of names that were rock hard dirty footballers and didn't hide or shy from the fact. Kevin Muscat was a cowardly devious spiteful shite of a man that should have been banned from the game.

    Just noticed the name Mickey Droy, never really thought of him as dirty but hellishly scary to look at, the closest living man to Frankensteins monster, bump into him in a dark alley and bicycle clips would be needed

    Anyone see the piece about Mansfield player John Thompson on the bbc website a day or so ago? He has just had to retire due to physical and psychological issues relating to a game in 2011 when this 'abrasive frontman' put himself about.

    FRIENDLY: ILKESTON FC 2 MANSFIELD TOWN 4 (match abandoned on 68 minutes)

    FURIOUS Mansfield Town boss Paul Cox led his side off the field after just 68 minutes of their bruising ‘friendly’ at Evo-Stik Northern Premier League Division One South neighbours Ilkeston FC after home player-coach Gary Ricketts put three Stags defenders in hospital, reports John Lomas.

    The abrasive veteran front man had already put in challenges which left Richie Sutton with a suspected dislocated collarbone and Martin Riley requiring stitches in a facial wound.

    But the final straw came when he inexplicably slammed John Thompson two-handed into the plastic and metal of the fencing surrounding the pitch which he hit head first which left the Irishman badly bleeding with a nasty cut across his nose and concussed.

    The Irishman was down for a long time as the referee tried to other prevent players squaring up to each other.

    Ricketts could have no excuse for his actions against Thompson and further brought himself into disgrace as he argued with furious Stags fans as he changed his shirt and walked to the dressing room, though no card was shown.

    Muscat, Micheal Brown and Pat Van Den Hauwe.

    Van Den Hauwe's assault on Newton at the Valley was an absolute disgrace. If he'd done that to someone in a pub on a Friday night he'd have got 6 months inside.

    Peter Shirtliff was one of the dirtiest players to wear a Charlton shirt. There was a 'challenge' he put in on a Newcastle player, Ian Bogie, I think that was waist high in 1986 or 87.

    Surely that had to be Jorge Costa who had the butter wouldn't melt in my mouth look after he'd just cleaned out another opposition forward.

    I can't spell his name, but The Butcher of Bilbao kept in a glass case, the boot he used to foul Maradonna, which chipped a bone in his ankle.

    Ha - by spooky coincidence, that was Goikoetxea - who I mentioned in the post directly above. He was absolute filth.

    John 'Fash The Bash' Fashanu, occasionally made contact with the ball with his head or feet but spent most of his time looking to elbow people in the face.

    Saw Vinnie Jones crap himself against Mick Kennedy in a Wimbledon v Pompey game. Kennedy could put his foot in and back it up.

    Also saw John Fashanu do Gary Stevens in a Spurs v Wimbledon game. Stevens was stretchered off with a broken collar-bone. Also saw Fash the bash elbow Dave Watson in the mooey and trample across a prone Steve Bruce, taking care of both Norwich Centre Backs in one afternoon.

    Jimmy Case was a hard-man, who would leave his foot in. Opponents would give him a wide berth.

    Billy Whitehurst wins first prize. Centre Forward for Hull City. He would hammer centre halves on high balls. Saw him knock out an opponent after 30 secs of a game with nothing short of an assault. Must have been left-overs from a previous game.
