Who is your favourite? Are you Professionals man? Callan? Mr. T? Magnum? The Prisoner? Regan and Carter?
My man of choice is The Equalis(Z)er.
DO NOT MESS WITH THIS!!!
HE DOES NOT FORGIVE! |

The equalizer was just some awld gadgie, I never really saw as a hardman.
As a youth it was probably Bodie from the professionals. On modern tele' maybe Hondo from S.W.A.T

I was queuing for security at Dublin Airport about 12 years ago when I heard a very posh English voice. I turned round but couldn't see where it was coming from. Then I looked down on to the frizzy pate of Martin Shaw. Doyle. My boyhood hero was nothing more than a posh voiced tiny actor. Why do that to a child, eh? Why?

Shaw was never the hard man of the duo though. He was like the Carter and always seemed to take more of a beating.
Ken Barlow from Coronation Street. Don't fuck with that guy.
Wasn't Roger Moore actually supposed to be able to ruck?
Sir Roger Moore and Lee Marvin got into a fight during filming, which Moore won. Marvin recalled, "The guy is built like granite. Nobody will ever underestimate him again."

He had a bit of a boxing background, coupled with the strength of the mentally ill, he chinned Peter O'Toole and a few others. Gen' up. |

I watched the Professionals as a kid, Bodie was the man....but I liked the cars as much as anything else, Capri 3.0 S, RS2000....the bad guys had to drive Rovers and Dolomites.
Oliver Reed, I think he could look after himself.

Ok, not TV but Franco Begbie is the hardest cunt I’ve witnessed on screen.
That’s Trainspotting for the uninitiated.

Charles Bronson (not the daft prison twat) was supposedly made of granite. His family were so poor he had to wear his sister's clothes and he went to work down the mines at 10. Looks like a proper high T man.  |

Taking my time with it and savouring every glorious line of delicious Leith prose. It really is Irvine Welsh's masterpiece. Franco Begbie is fucking terrifying. No spoilers! |

Roger Moore was indeed harder than a coffin nail when required. But equally one of the nicest blokes you could meet. Total gentlemen.
Had a think about this and I can't really name anyone. When I was younger it was probably Terry McCann.
