Mark Hughes's reaction at the end says it all! There's a difference between being a real hard man and blatantly going out to hurt people.

[lconnerz]

The players going in for crunching tackles and they both just get up and play on. It’s amazing to see.

[garyowens]

As good as he was, he was also dirty. Nothing wrong with a hard tackle but some of these are dangerous.

[krinsukarasuntorn]

I saw him on the airplane, very humble guy l said WOW great player here, then he said long long time ago, truly respect this legend.

[bennyblanco]

I miss these days. When players could dish it out but also take it, as well as being able to play as well.

[TrollfaceDarkBruhLmao]

Trash talking, sliding, dodging, kicking, tripping, kneeing, headbutting, poking, pushing, hugging, charging, swiping, grabbing, pulling, elbowing, forearming

[johnxxx]

True replacement for Graham Souness as the enforcer at LFC. Love the last clip of ´Sparky´ Hughes calling out the madness of McMahon - takes the biscuit !

[eamano]

Good thing some of these tackles are not allowed anymore or else some of the greatest players might not get anywhere near their peak because of bad injuries. Still I doubt he tackled like this in every game and you do still see similar tackles at times but they are straight reds especially with var around

[cathal]

Steve Mcmahon was as tough as nails, no messing about with him, mind you those tackles today he would be sent off every week 😂

[Popatop]

That Arsenal goal when he stopped it going out and then side stepping Adams (I think). Was one of the best goals purely for the build up.

[jasonwil]

When even Mark Hughes taps his head and "he's bonkers", says it all!

[davidnesbit]

0:53 Brilliant. Early 1991 and he goes in to 'do' the Everton lad and ends up putting himself out for the rest of the season. By the time he's playing again, Souness has taken over at Liverpool, the two don't really get on and McMahon is soon on his way. You could even say this tackle cost him his Liverpool career.

[mikeserridge]

I remember a Man U v Liverpool match at OT. He was putting it about as they say. Norman Whiteside was sent on to put a stop to it. He did in 30 seconds flat. Mcmahon disappeared and was substituted shortly after.

[thelolguy]

It used to be such a different game. Actually physical. Todays strikers have it easy compared to the strikers back then. Every goal Mark Hughes, Ian Rush and co got is worth 2 of what current crop of protected pre Madonna’s get

[aaronanderson]

Yeah he liked to stick his foot in, but he could play as well. Brilliant player.

[happyapple]

Average thug of a midfielder who wouldnt last 15 minutes in the modern game regardless how much heavy metal music you put over the top.

[flynnbobphillips]

Mark Hughes sums him up at the end of the video

[biggjazza]

Hard my arse, anonymous in the Cup Final after that Vinny ‘challenge’.

[paulrichardson]

I loved watching the Easter Monday game against United at Anfield in 88-89 when he spent 60 minutes shithousing Colin Gibson and then the self proclaimed 'Halewood Hardman' got put right on his arse when Norman Whiteside came off the bench and we pulled a two goal deficit back. He soiled himself that day and had nothing to take to Big Norm.

[patiacat]

He wouldn’t even get into a modern day team.
