Top 10 Hardest Footballers

[@ROL4NDpkmnguide]

Terry is quite "hard" if he sees your wife

[@Hunins]

true story bro

[@cyrax903]

TERRY THUG LIFE

[@parklife27]

he's "hard" when time is "right", always keep wife on your sight

[@maxcasares3872]

should've been number one in hard men

[@JoeBuckley554]

Puyol, the man was a rock and wasn't afraid to go in for a tackle.

[@thomasmurray2000]

Coutinho, Januzaj and oscar, true hard men of the game.

[@TomRigden]

They're all still young though, give it a few years

[@mariobalotelli4413]

You forgot hazard and neymar

[@dustyassairforces]

and sterling

[@edi412]

Bernard as well

[@BernardBrunu1]

+Elijah u talking about me?

[@k4mru7]

Good list, only name you probably missed out is Gattuso. Maybe next time have some honourable mentions before the number 1 spot like WatchMojo do.

[@dazom]

Jaap Stam perhaps? Fair player but do not mess with him. For example in his Lazio days, where his opponent tries to stomp him and Jaap stood up, confronted the man and grabbed him by his throat. The heart this man had was impeccable, strong holding defender at Ajax, Man Utd, Milan, Lazio just to name a few

[@sachureedas]

i remember the 2010 WC Final, and Xabi Alonso was just such a man. He took so many tackles inside and outside the box, but didnt complain. Even the commentators noticed it..........what a guy. what a role model

[@georgeg181]

Duncan Ferguson is an absolute legend

[@germinator1543]

He is an idiot

[@Uptheroyals80]

Germinator 1 your right he’s nothing on Keane🇮🇪🇮🇪

[@InnocentRain562]

Thought that Stam guy would be there

[@Destinho_08]

jaap stam? that dutch guy

[@InnocentRain562]

Yeah that's the one

[@ryan-fd7oh]

"That Stam guy" smh

[@mahirhussain4890]

That "Stam Guy" jheez that makes me feel old and im 19!

[@InnocentRain562]

Hey I couldn't remember his name sorry but not detract from they subject that he probably should be in there

[@DerFabiiio]

Mark van Bommel? Joey Barton? Stefan Effenberg?

[@dazom]

Of course Van Bommel. One of the dirtiest players out there, without getting caught in the act. Disgusting ..and I am Dutch LOL :-)

[@xlv]

Jaap stam..

[@kieranross4686]

Seriously Joey Barton haha, he's a cocky prick who can't throw a proper punch.

[@BoykaAM]

Jaap Staam

[@thomHD]

Looking at teams from the late 90s compared to now it also seems like the average weight of a player has gone from around 85kg down to 70kg.

[@WaveDaBreaker]

Jaap Stam, Mark van Bommel, Steffan Effenberg and the hardest of them all Gattuso...a list of hard men without those people is like PSG without Zlatan, Barca without Messi, Arsenal without Sánchez, City without Aguero (could name dozens of other One-man clubs, but I guess you get the Point ;)

[@nickmcc123]

Fuck sake nearly half of them played with Rangers haha

[@LachyBhoy]

Gattuso should be in it he played with them haha

[@nickmcc123]

U could have a whole team of ex Rangers players that would kick fuck out of any team they played haha

[@georgehardy463]

nick mcranger especially Celtic scum

[@nickmcc123]

Well said mate

[@georgehardy463]

nick mcranger shame we can't do that now because were in the league below

[@taftybufty]

Gattuso, Stam, Zlatan, Costa, Kahn, Effenberg, Barton, Cantona. you forgot these

[@sotruem8]

Costa? Kompany and Pepe made him a bitch

[@mahirhussain4890]

Costa??? LOOOL

[@itsahardlife8253]

***** Nah Costa is hard considering that he does kickboxing and played street football in Brazil. He plays on edge but isn't stupid like other players to get himself sent off. You might see him go down or act soft when the opponent gets mad at him, but that's cos he knows how to play on the edge and he knows how to rile up opposition players. He's not scared of anyone on the pitch.

[@mahirhussain4890]

He also wears pink boots and gloves, so the hardman tag which is rightly attributed to Vinnie Jones, Stuart pearce, Roy Keane, Dave Batty etc shouldnt be compared with Costa

[@mahirhussain4890]

yh Dave Mackay, Billy Bremner etc etc although to be fair those days you had every team that had a so called hardman, these days there are people that actually call Costa hardman, please if he came up against the players pre 2000's he would look like a little bitch

[@Logan-uh5ou]

Congrats on 9 hundred k subs

[@OhhDench]

Skrtel, I remember when he got his head stapled or summit like that against Bournemouth the other season

[@jakelamotta2387]

Willie Woodburn, Billie Bremner, Norman Hunter?

[@SChapps]

I'm named after Stuart Pearce as my dad was a Forest fan, fantastic player

[@shaanaziz6304]

My dad was telling me about vinnie a min ago I looked at my sub box then bang top ten hard men Another great vid Keep going:)

[@DThGrantland]

Are you aware there's a whole world beyond the Isles where football is also played?!?

[@andreborges3849]

Thank you! I think that all the time

[@CHlEFFIN]

BPL, BPL, BPL and... More BPL. Biased? Missing many hard players such as Gattuso and Staam, hell even Zlatan. You need to expand to more international footballers and leagues not just England.

[@Quaza14]

Loool Zlatan is nowhere near hard enough for this list.

[@Adam-mx6yh]

england was know for the most physical football there is, no surprise it's makes up most of this list

[@jonasstonebridge232]

agree, the guys at this channel doesn't really know anything about other leagues. Oliver Kahn should be on that list

[@oiurehj]

Adam Hodgkiss Yeah,maybe today but 20/25 years ago Bpl was shit compared to Serie A.There's was players like Baresi and Scirea and was know for the most physical football and in this list there's no today's players.

[@Adam-mx6yh]

oiurehj actually the english league was more physical back then, you're wrong.

[@maltezesaint395]

Kevin Muscat!! You legends :')

[@SpeedCR7]

No. 1 should be me, cuz i never go to the ground! I never go down, the only time i do is when a meteor attacks me from behind other than that i stay on my feet. (sometimes i go to the ground because i get attacked by things that can not be seen by the normal eye.)

[@Minimish28]

Or you dive

[@dod6031]

Jack Charlton was a hard guy, he used to keep a black book of players that he intended to injure on the field.

[@eliottsandoval4113]

How in the world has pepe not made the list?????

[@YourNanIsWithTheWorms]

Finally a good hard man list! And one that actually put Big Dunc in too

[@Abule1989]

Where is Edgar Davis, Gattuso, Viera, Makalele, Ballack

[@mymumsoldmetothefarsighten4597]

Dave Mackay look him up [George Best (1946-2005), of Manchester United, one of Tottenham's fiercest rivals in the 1960s, described Mackay as "the hardest man I have ever played against - and certainly the bravest"]

[@fifalegend2012]

0:07 the shops to his right and left just made me hungry

[@K000kk]

YOU FORGOT GATTUSO.

[@viniciusnascimentomiranda8879]

k-2-4 and Diego Simeone

[@SuperPrumpur]

Imagine having a team of these players, and then Oliver Kahn in goal :O

[@Btsman]

Might as well have the ambulance on speed dial!

[@JoJo_Kaiser]

Gentile is such an ironic name for a person that tackled

[@RandomguyGuy-hz8if]

gentile is actually nice in french

[@JoJo_Kaiser]

Randomguy0008679 Guy00000864 Oh the Irony

[@MJ22115]

+Randomguy0008679 Guy00000864 I. French nice is gentil not gentile

[@RandomguyGuy-hz8if]

MJ22115 you get the point

[@charlieborley7215]

2:36 That's what anyone wants to do to Keown after hearing him commentate/analyse a game

[@GaSsEdGoRiLlAz]

Lee Cattermole should be up there, complete nutter in midfield

[@ahmadabouali233]

hasnt done anything so stupid for a while though

[@christiethoms7026]

100% agree with u there m8 no nosense tackler almost like a enforcner

[@liamvaile4968]

Tony Adams, gattuso even Normal hunter when he played for leeds. He were nick named Norman 'bite ur legs' hunter!

[@1stnamesirname315]

Joey Barton, Lauren (Arsenal RB)

[@1stnamesirname315]

Pepe

[@DannyMoore29]

Barton aint hard. He's just dirty.

[@ryan-fd7oh]

same with Pepe, just dirty not tough

[@valiumflowers72]

ryan snailham dude have you seen how hard Pepe tackles sometimes? Hes definitely a physical player... he is dirty too though.

[@ryan-fd7oh]

The German Eagle but he dives and play acts alot, would you class him as tough? idk if i would

[@wh1t3sug3kn1ght]

I'm sick of people who know nothing about football commenting the names of big players

[@sigorsteinn7413]

Stig Tøfting !!!

[@magnusormasen4083]

I've been looking for a "best of" compilation of his tackles for ages. Particularly this one incident during a game between Denmark and Senegal. I think it was in the 2002 WC. He was a true warrior on the pitch.

[@jakelamotta2387]

Roy Keane... Hard??🤣🤣

[@PhazerOfficial]

Oliver Khan definitely deserves a place on this list. The man was a German monster to be feared.

[@mahirhussain4890]

Dave Mackay- Spurs captain in the 60's hard as nails- and im a Gooner

[@katerinapetrova10]

MUSCY!!! so glad hes getting a metion

[@GalatasaraySevdalisi]

Fenerbahçe fans will never forget Souness. What a King.

[@NoirCovers]

Materazzi,Montero and Staam surely deserve a place in this list.

[@connzandconnz]

Stam, gatuso? Maybe di canio and cantona but I consider them to be slightly tapped rather than hard men

[@andysawers6534]

over half the list have played for the old firm brilliant

[@spikecawston2517]

The hard man role is still alive. They use they're physical stature to dominate they're areas eg fellaini and Diego Costa. They just don't break the rules as much these days

[@harrycarter-hearnden5188]

Hurlock & Muscat, Millwall legends!

[@hkfootball103]

Gatusso ??? He is hard

[@TheSureboi]

you missed out genero gattuso of italy and ac millan.. he is the right up there in my list

[@MrSkittlezlife]

Lorik Cana he was a beast at his prime in The French league

[@igloo223]

Where is Bert Trautman? He broke his neck in the FA cup final and carried on for the whole game and lifted the FA trophy at the end!

[@Joshgmufc]

Patrick Vieira

[@ΚώσταςΜατσαρίδης]

Where is Gatusso

[@filthyuncleben2645]

Κώστας Ματσαρίδης wannabe hardman

[@lewisdavage5393]

I broke a guys leg and put the boot I done it with on the wall , then I found out goicotzhea (allow the spelling) did the same thing so I like the butcher now 😂

[@rp1455]

Very strange that Billy Bremner is not on this list. He should be right up there.

[@NiklasRychmann]

We will never find another player like Roy Keane, the man was a fucking enforcer, absolute tank on the pitch.

[@rhysdavies577]

What about Ashley Young? He's rock solid

[@matty8612]

Don't forget Fab, Cahil and Costa... Never seen them go to ground.

[@rhysdavies577]

Say what you like we're top of the league

[@brianbreda]

Rhys Davies Dont change the subject

[@Anthony.462]

+Rhys Davies not anymore bahahaha

[@Ibalnaif]

Stam ?

[@valiumflowers72]

Kevin Muscat is still the same as a coach, extremely fiery on the touch line.

[@Wolf-qm2yp]

Gentile is a hard man. HAHAHAHAHAHAHHHAH never heard a more ironic statement than that!

[@isaacjones9410]

Graeme Jones played for Wigan athletic striker

[@ryanmeek6284]

how many times in this video does he say "no nonsense style of play"

[@doublelaugh1]

top 10 most respected?

[@Tightentron]

The first 11 men team of Stoke City..nuff said. Its a freaking wrestling match no football play in sight

[@GardEngebretsen]

Needs more Gennaro Gattuso, Patrick Vieira, Oliver Kahn and Peter Schmeichel.

[@nasseralmosallam5297]

Dear COPA90, football is not only played in England!!!

[@1992NL]

Dave Mackay, Billy Bremner, Jaap Stam

[@kloxman86]

viera, edmundo, gattuso, chilavert, pepe, lehmann, de jong, henize

[@H.K.5]

Curtis Woodhouse is the hardest footballer who ever lived. He would knock the shit out of anyone in this list in a fight. He might not have been aggressive like these guys but still.

[@ryantaylor88]

Celtics Scott Brown definitely has to be on that list somewhere.

[@fredrodgers609]

Mick McCarthy is a pretty decent shout.

[@MrKingOthman]

Viera and Gattuso maybe even nigel de Jong and Steve Bruce.

[@jaburra3011]

hahaha kev muscat! come on melbourne!

[@noahdaly2730]

go on Roy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 💪💪💪

[@GardEngebretsen]

"Many meant was a revenge tackle". Roy Keane himself has said it was a revenge tackle...

[@myTheus95]

Casemiro and Matic are probably the Hardest Men of todays football.

[@francismurphy2491]

Chic Charnley - Dundee, Hibs, Partick Thistle. Holds British record for most red cards. Two men with Samauri swords tried to confront him in a Glasgow park - after a a few choice words from Chic, they both ran off scared sh*tless.

[@xlv]

Jaap stam..

[@TheCandyKr3w]

"top ten players who didn't tolerate nonsense"

[@Cobmetal1]

This list is an absolute disgrace. It didn't include any of Neymar, Cristiano, Young, and Bosquets.

[@RedRound90]

...and Stam, ibrahimovic, gravesen,materazzi ...GATTUSO.

[@joewhite3175]

Should Ibrahimovic should be on here? I don't know many of these players but surely he's one of the hardest...

[@TheBeautifulboyz]

The comment section got a bunch good names that didn't get a mention, but what about Graversen?

[@GGilmour7]

Basically all Rangers players being featured in the video 😂

[@Eduardo-ej4ww]

Joey Barton, was caught on cctv attacking a man in the street and his numerous fights with city players

[@13kaxno13]

Materazzi, De Jong, Gravessen, Gatuso ??

[@BoykaAM]

pepe and ramos, they are the 21st century hardman

[@christianneumann5099]

Damn sad Gattuso, pepe, thomas gravesen, Marco Materazzi, aint on this list.

[@Karma7711]

This is like the list25 of football

[@chrismarsden467]

Bremner?

[@F.Scott72]

And Norman hunter! Quality players

[@thehughftw]

Morgan from Sheffield United

[@adzter96]

Kevin Gray once got an oppositions manager up by the throat whilst at Carlisle, whilst only 6'0" he wouldn't back down from anyone even people like Akinfenwa who people for some reason now love had a hard time bullying him off the ball

[@MJXG]

Akinfenwa wasn't playing football when Kevin gray was? But did used to love going to watch carlisle back in the day

[@adzter96]

MJXG Kevin Gray was at Carlisle 2003-2007 Akinfenwa was at Boston and Orient in 2003 Rushden and Diamonds 2003-2004 Doncaster 2004 Torquay 2004-2005 and Swansea 2006-2007. In 03-04 Boston Orient and Doncaster were in Carlisle's league, In 2006 we played Swansea in the LDV Vans final and in 2006/07 both were in league 1

[@sufyaansajid4739]

6'0 is pretty big to be fair, not overly but still a good size

[@adzter96]

sufyaan sajid for most players yes but most cbs are 6'2"+

[@ruiribeiro7062]

and forgotten the most hard player ... PAULINHO SANTOS....FC Porto

[@Drifta2K9]

Gattuso? Vieira? Vidic? Keown? Kahn? Lehman? Schumacher?

[@GVB102]

Super super kev,super super kev, super super kev, super kevin muscat!!

[@basp9888]

Jaap stam! And mark van bommel also

[@rizqimauludin8321]

you missed Genaro Gattuso, Nigel De jong, and Fellaini

[@v12jeroenstraten]

Robbie savage definitely one who belongs to the list

[@pattzorri1523]

herman hreiðarsson a crazy man

[@fh7749]

how come no one mentioned Marco Materazzi so far?
