Didn't Boateng get elbowed in the head leaving his assailant clutching his arm in agony? Wasn't he also assaulted by Gerard (or Murphy?) at Anfield with a leg-breaker tackle where his shin bent and he got up and walked away?

Ya.(a) Gazza and (b) Gerrard...who was sent off.

With Gerard Houllier lambasting Boateng for play acting on the touchline. GH later apologised after seeing the incident on TV, which was fair enough.

1 - George Curtis - played for 89 minutes with a broken nose at Notts County. Hard as nails. Known as the Iron Man when at Coventry.
2 - Andy Lochhead - I saw him look round to see if the ref was watching at York one night before whacking their centre half in the nose. An article in the paper after we lost to Spurs in the 1970-71 League Cup Final refers to Lochhead 'flattening Jennings and Collins' before hitting the ball towards goal. Jennings and Collins were not small players. Lochhead used to give centre halves a real hard time and was a delight to watch.
3 - Mike Pejic - never saw the best of him but I remember him getting hold of Jimmy Case round the throat when he played for Everton. A very tough full back who players would think twice about before trying to take on.
4 - Neale Cooper - Got viciously booed in the friendly at Celtic Park. I asked one of the Celtic fans why they had booed him and he said that Cooper was 'the dirtiest bastard in Scotland'.
He was another player that we never saw the best, or worst, of.
5- Trevor Hockey - did a good job for us in those dark days. One of the most menacing looking of players.
