Which Saunders is this as the only Sauders that comes to mind is definitely Dean Saunders and he is far from nasty
No way is he as bad or does he have a mean streak in him like Stoichkov did as he was just mean and moody
That cannot be GilsGrimandi as he is not mean if that is indeed Gils, but like Gray pointed out Muscat is a bit of an animal and so is Danny tiatto
Duncan Ferguson and Edmundo are definitely mad
I would put Gentile there because for me he was very nasty as a defender not cultured at all as his tackles were very blatant and no way does Couto have anything on him
How can you have a nasty team with Mihalovic there and did you not read about Materrazi punching Cirillo last nite, even thou Materazzi was not even playing
Lee Bowyer is a bastard
Hard players, nah they don't make him like that anymore like so many British players like Dave Mackay, Chopper Harris etc . hat of Benetti the very hard Italian midfieler, Pasarella the only player who scared one of the hardest midfielders I know, Graeme Souness by telling Souness he would get him back in the corresponding fixture at home for kicking of the strikers, think it might have been Ramon Diaz when they were both at Fiorentina and Soey was at Sampdoria
Yes it is ex-Liverpool player Dean Saunders. I was struggling to find a mean striker so asked for advice and some english friends of mine guaranteed to me that he is an actual meanie. But Duncan Ferguson is indeed probably fitter for the job.
Grimandi is the Arsenal Grimandi - I think his first name might be "Gilles", yes. I have seen him play only a couple of times (notably against Lazio in the CL), but that was enough for me to spot the very high degree of bastardness that nourishes him : provocations, nasty tackles and kicks are all part of his répertoire.
Gentile was more than just a nasty defender. The man did have some real talent, unlike, say, Bruno. I see him as a prior version of Vierchowood in fact : he was the typical defender to whom the coach would say : "see that player? I want you to make him disappear from the field". And Gentile would abide and always fulfill his mission. He would literally not let said player breathe, closely following his tracks and sometimes resorting to tackles that crossed the line of correctness, but I believe he did it more out of self-determination than just pure nastiness (unlike, again, Bruno). He really was just an old school defender, who simply knew how to best do his job without violating the rule book too much. Otherwise he would not have been able to mark the likes of Maradona, Zico and Rumenigge without being shown the red card.
Mihailovic deserves a spot ahead of Couto, granted.
I wrote this before the Killerazzi aggression, but somehow I still think he lacks something to be eligible. It must be because he plays for Inter.
Lee Bowyer is a nasty bastard.
