I randomly bumped into Malcolm Shotton in 2017 at a U21s fixture. No idea how hold he was at that point but he still frightened the life out of me and I quickly apologised for being within an inch of him.
Anyone remember a story about Mal sticking the nut on someone on the team coach coming home from an away game or have I made that up?
Alan little, Nuff said. Hard as nails I don't think I ever saw him back out of a tackle or even lose one. On the Hardest physically. Mal Shotton. Norman Hunter. Kenny Burns. Morgan. Pugh. Shez was like a bloody Jack Russell.
In recent times, Kenny Dougall playing on with a broken leg. Reminded me of the knights who say Ni, "Ah, it's only a flesh wound"
Shotton and Taggart ont doors Steve Cooper and Gwynn Thomas patrolling dance flooer. Shez keeping an eye ont shitters...........sithi.
Heinz Muller, played 75 minutes in goal with an ACL because we had no keeper on the bench, and kept a clean sheet too
I have been going down to Oakwell since 1955/56 and the Hardest players I have seen are Pat Howard, Chris Morgan, Darren Sheridan, and Darran Moore You may not like Morgan but he frightened the ***** out of Vinnie Jones at Oakwell when we were in the premier league.on the 28th of February 1998 never forget it,
