The Football Hard Men Index No.1: Roy McDonough
Do. Not. Mess
Name: Roy ‘Donut’ McDonough
Club career: Colchester, Southend, Exeter, Cambridge
Position: Centre-forward (he also played as a makeshift centre-back)
Why so hard? Dismissed a record 21 times in his career, including 13 times in the league, ‘Donut’ was a rightly feared opponent who was never afraid to get stuck into the opposition, with elbows and all. Just look at that well-groomed moustache – it says: “Don’t mess with me, I’m absolutely nails and will take you all on in the car park after the game if necessary.”

There’s some good stuff on that one. Vinnie Jones gives little tricks to pull off such as stepping on people’s toes when there is a corner kick and it’s winter-time.
he was an absolute legend
what about some australians, lucas neill, but probably more importantly ones you havnt heard of like kevin muscat or danny tiatto
Trevor Hockey must be worth a mention,i think it was Francis Lee who said “getting past trevor is like trying to go through a compound full of doberman pinschers that havent been fed for a fortnight”.
Apparently there is a book in the pipeline about Mr McDonough and all of his maiming glories – remember him knocking out Tony Pulis after five minutes in an FA Cup tie, bet he won’t be thinking of that at Wembley against City tomorrow.
