Players?

[jackal2]

Liam Noble is one of the last players I would put in the "little rat" category. He was lightweight and wasn't capable of getting stuck in to a tackle. Most of his cards were for petulance rather than crunching tackles.

Agreed. I think he fancied himself more as a 'fancy dan' creative midfielder, but he was nowhere near good enough at that side of the game or the tackling side to be any real use. There was no way we should ever have brought him back.

Ricky Ravenhill was the archetypal little rat.

Another one of my favourites in years gone by, even though he never played for us, was Andy Hessenthaler.
