Bruno - He would bite your ears off. Blood dripping into his wonderful beard
Shane Duffy - Turns it into an irish bar fight and keeping calling you a "feckin eejit".
Lewis Dunk. Tough? Nope. But he would be a proper little dick. Running in, stamp on you, run away. "I got a kick in lads"
Skalak - Mental
Kayal - Mental
Knockaert - Mental
Sidwell - Ginger. Always scrappers.

Also, no one is mentioning Sam Baldock, who whilst not "tough", is CONSTANTLY involved in niggles on the pitch with the opposition. He would definitely GOB OFF but probably stand back whilst the likes of Skalak WADED IN.

Skalak's having some, even if he's not playing, he looks too much like a czech Travis Bickle to not get involved.

Not only would Skalak suddenly sprint into the fray if he was on the bench, he'd vault over the railing if he was in the stands, headbutting any steward who dared to try and stop him. The man's bloody terrifying.

Winding the clock back there's a few Albion names that come to mind who would have been quite handy in a scrap:

Jimmy Case
Doug Rougvie
Ian Goodwin
Hans Kraay
Paul Clark
Alex Dawson
Martin Keown (OK he wasn't the finished article when on loan to us but made up for it in his later years)

Can't help but feel Skalak's mental eyes and hair are fooling a lot of us. I think he might actually be a bit of a wuss. He certainly goes down like one when fouled.

Lua Lua is definitely the sort of bloke who'd stand to the side, get his phone out and film it all. Then put it on Twitter for it to go viral.

How any list of this nature is complete without the name Ian Baird I don't know. He even looked like a proper old school street fighter.

Also for consideration would be Danny Cullip.

Come to think of if football were a boxing match the Albion could well be Champions with most games stopped by the referee.

In light of current events, Ince has to be back in.

Skalak, without a doubt. He is mental.
Oh no absolutely not.

If anything this kind of mayhem not being backed up on the pitch makes him dweeb #1.

The guys a lovely teddy bear who was having one bad day.

Anyone willing to get into a scrap with Darren Moore has to be on the list, Baird was clearly nails.

You could add Sammy Morgan particularly if he could his hands on their goalkeeper

And just to back up your Ian Baird suggestion, he now owns a scaffolding company and scaffolders are always tough (and well off)!

Met him recently and you still wouldn't want to mess with him. Head coach at Sutton United in the conference premier now.

I've been itching to :bounce: this since the Fulham the Weds games.

Ok for the newbies a quick recap:-

According to Tony Adams a team isn't a team unless you have 7 players prepared to fight the opposition, in the tunnel.
We're not talking prancing and posturing outside Dino's bar and grill, at 2 am.
Only the players prepared to hurt and be hurt in a brawl are allowed into the 7.

For us to have a team we need at least 7 players prepared to fight for the honour of team-mates, club, manager, all things Brighton and Hove Albion.

A couple of final things.

This thread is the last bastion of racial stereotyping - Luckily for Jocko Jamie Murphy. :lol:

If your still unsure of the validity of this thread, go back and read through Sami's reign.
When we couldn't get to 7.


Duffy - The equivalent of Brazil 1970.
Stockdale - He can cope with Duffy.
Dunk - Will be fighting with Stocko just to be the man next to Duffy.
Bruno - One word 'hatstand'.
Knockaert - Nothing to be said, other than it would be nice if the 'girls' could contain him
Kayal & Hemed - Butch and Sundance - Someone tries to sucker punch Kayal but Hemed will be there at the last second to chin the twerp. In the midst of battle, the boys make eye contact acknowledging they have each others back.
Skalak - Just look at his face.
Bong - scything his way through the opposition.
Sidwell - Ginger.

Special mention for the manager.

At some point he's gonna lose his shit - Proper end of level boss material.

The two A would be good in the tunnel Alan Duffy and Alex Dawson and to make up a good four Ian Goodwin and Paul Clark:blush::nono:

Stephens loves a ruck . He'd be first in I reckon

Not convinced on Jiri, he may look mental but falls over like a right powder puff when he's touched
