Dirty players

Not one of ours but the footage of Tommy Gemmell chasing after the German player who had just tripped him up is superb. Gemmell ran round Hampden trying and failing to boot the guy up the backside after being fouled by him. Gemmell was sent off and I think Scotland also lost the game and in doing so failed to qualify for the WC in Mexico in 1970. Talk about red mist.

Under our new rules,as demonstrated by Alan McGregor and Naismith, that is probably allowed nowadays.

Kenny Burns.

He was nuts can remember a Forest Arsenal game at Highbury and he had a fall out with one of the Arsenal players. The same Arsenal player was trying to edge into Forests defensive wall for a free kick when Burns stood behind him and headbutted him in the back of the head just as the free kick was taken.

Yep thats the one.

Maybe more an insidious, toxic wee toad than outright dirty (although he had more than a just a few moments), Joey Barton surely merits inclusion in this gang of radges!

Kyle Lafferty must be due a call up to the dirty bassas 11.

Totally hadnt realised Cropley didnt play in that final as was a young pup and mortified we got horsed in the game. Can remember being given a coin or two from friendly/patronising Celtic fans at the game every time they scored so made a few bob but absolutely devastated as thought we would win.

Quite an interesting article about Jim Herriot mentioning the final.

Fergie fled up the tunnel at the end pursued by Eric S. Fergie ended up locked in the dressing room with Shades trying to kick it in to get at him.

John Hughes entered the HIBS Changing Room to enquire as to Bobby Duncan’s health after breaking his leg at Easter Road. He had to be removed from the Changing Room by Jock Stein who did not think it was a good idea as things kicked off.

That's the incident that springs to mind for every time I think about him. No retrospective action, not particularly discussed after. No condemnation from Cloughie despite the whole incident captured on close up.

Edit. Just realised CWG added the video

"Unfortunately, Bobby had suffered a broken leg when I slid it to try to block the ball. His ankle got caught up in my outstretched leg and he collapsed to the turf in obvious pain. It was a complete accident, I hasten to add. The conditions were slippy that afternoon and we just collided with neither of us able to pull out."

Eh, naw.

Thug.

Yip? That’s why I thought it worthy of the dirty players thread!

Agree 100%

Met him at his trial for HIBS at Easter Road HIBS v Morton Reserves

He explained that he was on trial from Stirling Albion

He gave me and my friend two complimentary tickets and asked us to meet him after the game

After the game he took us into the old changing room where you could still see the stud marks on the referees door from the Barcelona game and let us run up the tunnel and out onto the pitch

Being HIBS mad twelve year olds this was a tremendous thrill as you can imagine

We both informed him that we thought he had done enough to get offered a contract

The rest they say is history

A nicer guy you could not wish to meet.

A HIBS legend

RIP

May have this wrong but am sure Burns won back-to-back player of the year, or writers’ player of the year awards round about the time Forest did so well in Europe, and I think he was the only Scotsman to do so., even Dalglish didn’t manage it. He was hard as nails but good enough for Clough. The Scotland team from his time was scary, full of guys winning European Cups and English league titles. Players like Souness were criminally overlooked yet it seemed justifiable at the time.

Kenny often played up front with Trevor Francis but he couldn't stand him. Kenny felt he did all the work & Trev got all the glory. When Scotland were playing England, Francis was running riot & Kenny was on the bench. He begged Ally Macleod to let him on so he could have a kick at Francis. When Ally told him to warm up, Kenny ran down the track calling Francis an English p--f & telling him he was coming on to kick his Henry Halls into his throat. Charming!

Quite a few of the dirty players mentioned in this thread never played for Hibs. Just saying...

[weecounty hibby]

Doug Rougvie. Gregor Stevens. Almost every Hun defender during the seventies and early eighties. They had carte blanch to boot everyone as referees let them away with (almost) murder every week
