    Muscat was a dirt bag. Also despise Scott Brown at Celtic. One of those players that would wind you up and has a face you wanna slap.

    Julian Dicks, not sure if he could be described as dirty or just strong

    He was also a very talented player in his pomp IMO.

    Has to be Muscat for me. That entire Wolves team was pretty dirty actually.

    What about the dirtiest player that's played for us?

    Simon Walton seemed to get sent off in any rare appearance he made for us
    He even managed to get himself sent off in reserve games.

    There is a video on You-Tube of Muscat committing an absolutely horrific foul, on what I think was his last ever game for Melbourne victory.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SkWZyX8lmVU

    How he never seriously injured the guy is beyond me - a total head-case, and the biggest joke is, is that he is now a manager himself!!

    That's an absolute disgrace that challenge, police should have been called !

    Muscat
  • Never really liked Muscat, thought he was a cowardly bully. Go in hard yes and some players like Rhino & Hurlock would go in bloody hard, but not cowardly like Muscat.

    Wise was a niggly dirty little sod, little pinches here and there. Remember watching Keown play at The Den and he was filthy. Always elbowing the strikers ribs, stamping on toes, pulling, grabbing, pinching, whilst ref was looking at the ball.

    Harry Cripps was a bit handy in his old age and agree Hurlock was a nasty piece of work, but Muscat takes the biscuit.

    Think SLL has it nailed with Muscat. He was cowardly and not a hard man.

    I will go with Mick Harford as being a bit if a dirty hardnut. Although remember him not celebrating a goal against us at Selhurst as looked likely to send us down.

    One of the few consolations about Millwall's shortlived foray into Europe was seeing Muscat repeatedly getting dumped on his arse by some Eastern European defending.
  • Mark Dennis was a proper nutter as was Robert Hopkins.

    Lee Bowyer has always had a barely disguised evil streak. I saw Tony Pulis play for Bournemouth a long time ago and some of the challenges he threw in would have got you a prison sentence nowadays

    Muscat has always been a coward, same for Thatcher.

    Geoff Horsfield was a genuinely hard man and I heard Owen Coyle talk about Mixu Paataleinen and how he was the most intimidating bloke he'd ever met

    Shearer was a dirty bastard and pushed the boundaries every game but he was a very tough, hard bastard

    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.

    Almost exact words from Gordon Watson after a match against him for us. Watson admitted that he decided not to risk it!

    Apparently it's what Muscat said to a 18 year old Ashley young.

    In terms of our own players, yann always gave at least as good as he got. Matt Svensson was a hard man, wasn't dirty though, neither was yann really.
  • I found an old video of our game V Palace (1996 I think) and Lee Bowyer gets kicked quite a few times in that, including a boot in the chest, so he probably learned a thing or two off his fellow pros!

    My brother-in-law used to see Thatcher walking his dog in the Wilmington area and said he was very quietly spoken. A little different from how you would expect him seeing him on the pitch. When he was with us he played alongside those other angels, Mills and Sodje.

    The game seems a lot more sanitised compared to how it was, although there are obviously still bad tackles, like when Edwardo had his leg broken in two.

    Kevin Muscat was not only a dirty player but a thug as well, complete nutter
