He is, however, tough as hell. I was going to point to Gattuso as the obvious miss, but the fact that he’s so damn nice is the reason I didn’t — he ain’t no Vinnie Jones, right?

Maybe he's too nice of a guy to be considered "hard", but if we're talking about play on the pitch, he has to be on the list. I agree with Roberto – Gattuso seems like a pretty obvious choice.

He's the pitbull for Christ's sake. Name another hard hitting midfielder today that will just as quickly embrace you at the same time. He married a scot for good measure too.

To me "hard" means you can take it a hit, as opposed to being known for dishing it out.
