The Football Ramble’s Guide To… Hard Men

Today, we’re discussing football’s most fabled breed. They are the enforcers, the tough guys, the bouncers of the football pitch that everyone loves to hate. We are, of course, talking about football’s hard men!

Pete, Jim and Vish discuss some of the game’s most iconic examples of the genre, including the Colombian player with the most red cards in history and English football’s so-called OG hard man, who used to bring a gun to contract negotiations. Plus, we ponder if there is still a place for the quintessential hard man in the modern game.
