Fulham's Dirtiest XI

[epsomraver]

Think the line between hard and dirty has become fuddled in this post, there is a difference, to play football at the highest level especially in the old days all players had to be hard but not necessarily dirty, as in Savage,  and  Bremner and Collins from Leeds , they were dirty players

[cmg]

Bobby Keetch was an almost mythical figure, immaculate in astrakhan collared overcoat and mohair suit off the field, fearsome on it. Dirty? By today's standards almost certainly 'yes' - but the past is another country, they do things differently there.

10 seconds into this clip Manchester United centre-forward David Sadler flicks the ball into the air and then Keetch 'introduces' himself. Was considered quite normal in 1964, what might it have resulted in today?

Rufus Brevett could put in some meaty challenges. Didn't a Mum of a Birimingham City's Striker come after him with her handbag for tackling her son.

Then there was a few more who liked getting 'stuck-in' Legwinski, Melville, Pembridge, Bonnissel, even Geoff Horsfield.

Think there was a cup game against Birmingham when most of Fulham's midfield was booting Robbie Savage for Fun and he started crying to the Ref, and the crowd took the pee. :005:

Yes Clinton Morrison lol

Was he the big fat bald Morrison?

He was such a filthy b*****d that I refuse to shop in his supermarket to this day.

It was interesting that, from being a big (literally) figure in that Man City team, he disappeared the instant their money arrived.

Can I also add Ray Evans? Alan Mullery was no angel either.
