I made this team up of hard nuts rather than those who’d start a fight in an empty room. I’ve chosen from when I started watching (early 70s). Please feel free to disagree as I’m pretty sure we’ve had some hard nuts that I’ve missed. Think I’ve put Perry out of position but couldn’t think of psycho left back.

I would add Phil Stant to that list.

I remember the final match of the season (78ish) against Carlisle. If we avoided defeat we’d send them down, if they won, we’d go down. At 1-1 with a minute to go there was a goalmouth scramble in our area and one of their players took a swing at a City player, all outfield players piled in and Paul Went dropkicked one of their players. I thought, that’s it, penalty and we’re down but amazingly the ref cooled everything down gave us a free kick and we stayed up. Memories eh

I remember that the 76/77 season it was, I think we scored early on and they equalised almost immediately. Paul Went was in the thick of it, he looked a right bruiser, barrel chest and squashed nose.

I'd have Dereck Showers in there, as well as a nutter, used to kick 4 / 5 balls out of the ground every time he shot at goal in the 70's. My fav City player at the time along with 'Donald'.

Couple more to add...Garry Thompson up front - never shirked a challenge and Simon Walton who we had on loan - maybe not a hardman but a complete loon!
Also honourable mentions to Tony VIdmar and Ricki Scimeca...
How about a softest team ever?
Step forward messrs Jeff Chandler, Pat Heard and Matty Brazier.
