That old guard of Dixon, Adams et al were tough but generally fair, they had the proper technique.

You can throw in Peter Storey as well.<br /><br />I once asked the board at Arsenal Mania who they thought was the meanest Arsenal player ever. Expecting to see a bunch of votes for Vieira or Adams, the first answer I got was Storey and nobody disputed it.
