Smashing elbows in to people doesn't make you hard. Ask Iain Hume if he thinks Chris Morgan is hard. Sounds like this guy is from the same school as Kevin Muscat if you ask me.
Thats bollocks Mase, Jordan played for Rags Leeds and AC Milan for me that tells you Top player.
Muscat is a thug, Jordan was just a hard player who could play, latterly very clever and had a great touch and was awsome in the air great number 9 if you will.
a) Muscat Willl aways be a shit player
b) Would not have lasted a week in the era Jordan played in
c) As I stated not, what you would get away with today but was the norm look at Footage of Best scoring against Chelsea Choppers tackle would be 10 yrs ban now. No clever but as it was back in the day. Flammini tackle poor but accepted as normal once upon a time. City had Mike Sumerbee and a few others a winger known as one of footballs hardest players that is my point, also mud bath pitches encouraged the tackle. Forwards like Jordan, Paul Mariner took a lot but gave a lot mate. Crowds loved it Dennis Tueart once took a shooing against Hatlrpool had enough jumped 12 inches and head butted the player "STANDING OVATION AS HE LEFT THE PITCH ANOTHER WINGER"
