He was more brave than actually hard. Doesnt compete at Dunc's level of being a bit of a looper.

True, true but he did break Andy Cole's two legs with a single tackle.

That has gotta be worth something.

He also spent a game turning down Cantona's collar, and calling Paddy V a French c*nt. Now he does reality shows on living tv with Pete Burns

Mickey mouse chav hardman

We have to distinguish with being hard and being mental. Otherwise you'll have punters like Ketsbais and Goram muddying the waters.

i thought neil ruddock would have been on the list

This the fella who hurt his head when heading a goal against United. Ruddock was an attention seeking hardman.

Nadal of Barca in the 90's was another tough bastard.

Burglaries

In 2001, Ferguson was the victim of a burglary attempt by two men at his then home in Rufford, Lancashire. Ferguson confronted the pair and was able to detain one of them who subsequently spent three days in hospital. The second man managed to flee but was eventually caught. Both men were sentenced to fifteen months imprisonment for their actions. Later because of their actions, both men won an "Honorable Mention" from the Darwin Awards.

Big Dunc had it all when it came to being a hardman. He was tough to play against, the more physical the battle the better it suited him, he was brave and liked to throw the odd dig.

Two years later, in early 2003, Ferguson again fell victim to a case of burglary. This time there was only one intruder, Carl Bishop of Walton, Liverpool. The crime took place in Ferguson’s Formby home and, again, Ferguson elected to confront his intruder. He restrained Bishop until police arrived and Bishop admitted intent to steal but levelled accusations of assault against Ferguson which did not eventuate into a criminal charge

 

[Sound]

That he hasn't opened his own private security firm to protect Pool players' homes while they are in Europe is an opportunity missed.
