When we lost to Steaua Bucharest in the UEFA Cup with Di Canio playing for us, in the home leg they had a player that repeatedly assaulted Di Canio on the pitch, should have got about 4 red cards. Ref I think eventually gave him one yellow towards the end of the match, We got knocked out. I'm sure the ref was corrupt. There is no way that bloke wouldn't have been sent off by a straight ref.

Wasn't it a life threatening "air bubble in the lung" that was the mark Harris's tackle left?

Apparently Ron "Chopper" Harris didn't get his knickname due to him being a dirty tackler.

Roy Keane was definitely a hard man. Laughable fo think otherwise.

I’ll always remember the back page of the Sunday Mirror Terry Yorath dumped in the front row of the chicken run by Bonzo! The mirror headline: Alas poor Yorath with a picture of him climbing back onto the pitch!

Just for the record John Charles left Leeds for Juventus in 1957. He then briefly returned in 1962 and played just eleven more games for them.
Revie managed Leeds from 1961 until 1974. In 1961 Leeds were in the second division and under his stewardship they were promoted to the first division in 63/64. So they came up as an unknown quantity and we soon saw how dirty, underhand and ready to cheat they were. So I am telling posters, who might have been unaware that Leeds started, and were well known for what the did before the seventies had set in. They were for me the dirtiest domestic team I had ever seen up till then.

Comma didn’t say early sixties.
It was a bit of a silly comment anyway, because many of those dirty players from the sixties also played in the seventies.

I remember Ron Harris finishing Johnny Ayris’s career with a cunt of a tackle, you could hear the twang of his ACL all around UP. Cunt.

That early 60s Leeds side had the legend that was John Charles, I don't recall them being a dirty side back then?
Also had one of the first black footballers in Albert Johanneson

The dirty Leeds, you only need to watch the 1970 cup final replay…Chelsea were just as bad.
By today’s refereeing it would have ended up 6 a side

Ronnie Whelan was one dirty player but clever with it and went under the radar.
Mcmahon in the same team was a bit of a prat and too obvious.
Billy Whitehurst was not adverse to the odd elbow or punch in the mush,a very poor mans Mick Harford who i saw the other day and still looks as hard as granite now.
The head banded Foster from that same Luton side again one dirty fucker & of the same era Eric Young.
Man of the moment Gary Nevile would also look to bully certain wingers who he perceived as mentaly weak or smaller than him, a case in point being the now sadly departed Jose Reyes.
If someone one dared to kick him back he would get the bigger boys like Keane on to them.

Suarez was a dirty cunt, but he was a great player too.
Diego Costa liked to put it about too, he was a bit of a loose cannon.

Roy Keane's two books are well worth a read BTW. One I forgot was Jimmy Case, now he was tough. I remember Bonzo saying how Patsy Holland was a hard man. Not nasty or OTT but just putting himself in where it hurts, hence some of the awful injuries he got.

Leeds of the seventies dirty? They were fairies compared to Leeds of the sixties. Poison dwarves Collins and Bremner in midfield backed up by Johnny Giles. Defensively Charlton and Hunter were overtly aggressive.
The Leeds teams of the sixties were the first to systematically get at the ref one at a time through a game such that he was never given any peace. Their whole MO was to systematically undermine the officials to their advantage. A deliberate Revie tactic.

Alf Inge Haaland
Absolute horrible, dirty, petulant cunt. Don't think I'd have even liked him if he played for us.
Roy Keane was the same, just more visible. The way he used to front up to refereed and get away with it was baffling.
The way players like Drogba and Suarez dive and do niggly petty shit is so frustrating, they're so full of talent and skill and yet play dirty, there's no need.

ID. Keane was a cracking player. Very smart. Just not a hard man. It just makes me chuckle when the media portray him as one.

Anyone remember Ron Harris going through Johnny Ayris and almost dumpingvhim in the West Side,think it was 73/74. Within 5 minutes Bonzo went for a 50/50 ball with Harris and nearly crippled him,was surprised Bill didnt get done for assault.
Sold0 is right about Savage,he was a sneaky fucker who would have got chewed up and spat out by the really hard players.
