- Billy Whitehurst was known as the Hardest Man in Football in the 1980's and 1990's.
It was a different era for football, and there were a lot of tough men on the pitch. Billy Whitehurst was known as the Toughest.
Billy was a dangerous footballer , who really did strike fear in to his opposition.
Billy would have illegal Bare Knuckle fights for money , and was involved in numerous bar room brawls.
Unapologetic in his actions, he was a footballer , and a man of a different era.

Best wishes matt. I've been in bed almost 18 months. I'm ex service and an ex amature boxer. Mental health is a killer. I've just started getting about and lifting pathetic weights in the gym. You just got to keep pushing
You have to start somewhere bud ,keep yew a troshern bor.👍👊🇬🇧
Ah thank you mate
And well done on getting back on track.
As long as we put one foot in front of the other, and keep going and keep trying
🥊👍
@@mattlegg1976 see this is why I love your channel. Your humble and down to earth. I can't belive a heavyweight who fought joshua has time to talk to me. I've watched all your videos while I've been stuck in the mud and it's helped me. You make a difforence to people
@@jamiewilson5679 thank you brother.
Lifting is so good for your mental strength,well done on making a start. Forget about what you could lift and forget about what others are lifting. Try a weight that lets you do 15- 25 reps and push it till your insides drop out! Matt is a class act! Try Richard Politino on UA-cam,helped me get back into lifting,good luck to you in the future 🥊🥊🥊🥊
Rambo Billy - about time someome did a full podcast with him

Nice one, thank you 🥊👍
I remember watching him playing for Newcastle, great tough player 💪 I remember watching him in a Derby against tge mackems at St James Park. He went in for a challenge with there centre half and absolutely flattened him , the centre half kept away from him the rest of the game , he was like a train brilliant memories 👏

It was Paul Bracewell he clattered, ironic that it was Paul Bracewell who ended up playing for the toon

I was thinking its about time for a video ,great as always Matt ,thanks again for your hard work and being a gentleman 👊
Thank you very much, it's great to be back, and hearing from you all again
👍🥊
Brilliant video Matty. Been waiting for a book about Billy for a long time. I even contacted the guy who was writing it. So glad to see they finaly got it out. Will be buying that after typing this.
Matty. Sorry to hear youve not been 100% mate. You gave me some kind words after commenting that your videos were one of the things keeping me going through some sad times recently. The lowest ive ever been. Your kind words gave me a big boost. Thank you. Id never have thought I could get that low, I now realise how crap it is when people get like this. In reality I still am going through it, but coping day to day.
Family and friends were a great help when I let them be, but little wins make you smile, like watching your content on here.
So from me to you, you have my heartfelt thanks.
Something stuck with me when watching Vinnie in his series recently after talking about his loss.
He said you have to 'wake up punching'.
Its all we can do sometimes.
You take care of yourself. We certainly care about you Matty.
Top man you are.
Ah thank you so much for saying that, it means a lot to me.
I hope things are getting better for you. It can be tough sometimes, but I love that 'wake up punching '
thats exactly it.
Have a great week my friend
👍🥊
@@mattlegg1976 you too buddy. We will get through it. Was thinking of trying to ask Vinnie to write it for me in his writing and have it as my first Tattoo.
Something i could look at when im down to motivate me.
Maybe i should get you to write it for me instead ?
Again, thanks for the kind words. They do mean a lot.
Great video, sorry to hear you haven't been well, sometimes these things can be overwhelming and it's hard to make yourself do things I know from personal experience but don't worry my friend your obviously intelligent enough to get through this. All the best mate, glad you're back.
Hope you feel better soon Matt, we all get down sometimes. Keep smiling.x
Thank you Paula. That means a lot x
Glad ur back and on mend brother your health and happiness the main thing and your the best channel out there bar none. Thanks for the shout out 👊🥊💚
Thank you Brother. And vice versa mate . You're putting out quality content 🥊👍💙
Wishing you all the best, big man!! Your content on this channel is bang on, so keep it up
Nice one Matt, keep your chin up and keep fighting the dreaded mental problems which hits us all at times mate. Your channel is superb when talking about history’s hard men of the past, Looking forward to many more in the future. 🥊👏
Ah thank you very much Brett, I appreciate the encouragement.
I hope you're well 🥊👍
Great video Matt, good to see you out again man.
Mental health is an absolute ballache. Yiu have a good channel and really supportive subscribers. You've built a nice, solid little community, which is something to behold and hopefully take some comfort from.
It's always easier said than done but... Understand, people care and value your content because of who you are and what you've done and been through.
Another great video Matt of an extraordinary character. So interesting and amazing story that I’ve not heard before. Thankyou. Stay strong and hope to see more of you asap ❤️
Thank you, yes it was a different era back then.
I appreciate your message, I hope you're well 🥊😊
Brilliant mate really enjoyed that
Nice one, thank you 👍🥊
Hi Matt...I could tell something was off as soon as I started watching this video...I haven’t been well myself lately, so I haven’t been watching your videos...I appreciate your honesty & I greatly respect your efforts at pushing through & making this video! And, it's an excellent video in it's own right--very interesting to hear about the hardest man in football...you're getting back on track now mate...please keep pushing...I'm all the way out here in San Diego, & your videos are inspiring to me, & I've been fighting my entire life, since my early days in Philadelphia
Thank you so much. It really makes me happy to think I've inspired you all the way over in San Diego.
I hope you're feeling better, things always get better remember 👍💪
I'll get back on a live tomorrow and if you're around, I'm interviewing Michael Franzese on my channel Thursday at 7pm.
I haven't announced it yet, so your the first to know.
It'll be great to see you in the chat.
All the best and thank you again.
🥊👍💪

It’s good to see you back on UA-cam Matt, I also suffer with my mental health, it’s not easy, but I just try and keep myself busy. Take care.
Thank you mate. I hope you're well now.
I've just been bought a new bike for my Birthday, so I'm so happy to be out biking in the country again.
That's one of the things I need to keep myself relaxed.
Nature, healthy eating, working, no alcohol etc,
All the components to keep on top of things.
All the best, and thank you 🥊👍
I always look forward to your videos i learn so much from them
Nice one Brad. Thank you mate 🥊
Good to hear your feeling better! Don't let life get you down. I was 4 hour's from death 6 weeks ago enjoy life.. remember we die once but live everyday make the most of it.. Great video
Smashing story Matt! Sorry to hear you have been under par physically. We ALL forget how feeling even keel is awesome until we get bogged down with an illness. My sons and myself are pleased you got the black clouds to go away and are up and about mate. As always your Fans appreciate you keeping your REAL in your REEL and sharing private feelings with us. On a personal note, I have always loved following British Football more than American soccer! More characters and action over in The UK! Keep Strutting and we ALL enjoy seeing that Sly Devilish Matt Grin from time to time as well my man! Cheers From Across The Pond In COW-lumbus, Ohio MOO
Lol, thank you mate, I always appreciate your message. That made laugh aswell.
I hope you're all well, please say hi to the boys.
👊🥊👍
@@mattlegg1976 My boys wanted you to please tell Kevin that they are keeping him in their prayers and sending positive thoughts towards him daily! They both also wanted me to say Thank You on their behalf! 😀
Sorry to hear you've been struggling Matt, it happens. Pleased you're feeling better and got that positive mindset back, back out in the fresh air and training again.
Loved the video, love the old school football ones, they cover all these on podcast under the cosh.
It's crazy to think these days players are diving all over and crying over the slightest touch, madness.
Sending love to you, Katy and the boys.
Look after yourself, your health and happiness comes before anything else.
💙🥊
Thank you Gemma, I hope you and the family are well..
It's been 10 years since I felt like that.
Hopefully all done and dusted now.

I'm a Blade from Sheffield Matt, Billy was a hard player, a proper south yorkshireman.
Motivation's hard to find when you turn 50, I'm 56 now, I've grafted hard on the roads and buildings till a few years ago, my body tells me so aswell! Hang in there, when you're down you're learning, growing stronger...even though it dunt feel like it at the time.
Nice one John, thank you mate 👍🥊
Get into the tai chi, mate, it's good exercise for people who have a lot of injuries from a life of hard work.
You're more than welcome Matty.
Stay strong John, I am Approaching 63 and make dsily time to do the bread and butter push ups and pull ups and throw some leather on the heavy bag, it really helps me mentally as well as physically. Keep going brother, keep going 🥊
Look after ur Health..And I know u work out,but I would suggest look into YOGA...Done slowly & correctly it's a very hard workout,but it's also good for a person's Mental State..Check it out& I wish u all the best!👍 from Vegas!

Great video, I love the sport/ hardman ones. Really good to see you back out in the wild spaces again, I did genuinely worry that something was not right, I think we share a very similar set of problems. Sometimes it is too easy to just let yourself slip back so I do empathise with you on that one.
One step at a time mate and take it easy.
Thank you Joe. Great to hear from you. Glad you're doing ok aswell 👊🥊
Get well soon mate great video. Billy sounds like a right handful iv heard a few players mention him before.
Thank you Ben, I hope you're well. Yeah he was a tough man 🥊👍

Brilliant mate love it I heard billy was a right hard case
Nice one Ben. Yeah proper hard nut, lol 👊💥
He came back to Thurnscoe when he retired, he had the Butcher’s Arms pub for a while. Fought some of the hardest guys in the area just to cement his reputation really. Him and Adam Brinkley had a massive rivalry.
Great video Matt, well done
Thank you 🥊👍
Mat you always put out good videos out with very interesting content 👍👍 thank you 💪
Brilliant Carl. Thank you mate 🥊👊
Keep well my friend....Billy Whitehurst was a firm fan favourite at Boothferry Park in the day....God he was hard. Stood in the Sotuh stand and heard him tell Mark Lawrenson he was pissing him off and Lawro apologised!
Good to see you back mate...Keep yourself busy Matt thats the key...🥊
Thank you Bill 🥊👍
Good Stuff Matt.Keep it up Mate👍
Cheers mate. Thank you 🥊
Great Post Matt, back when football could be robust, 👍

Nice one Michael 🥊👍
You are a top bloke, Matt, and will always do okay. Keep up the great work pal.
That's very kind of you William, thank you very much.
I hope you're well 🥊👍
To be honest Matt I've just stumbled over to your channel & I'm going to subscribe for sure, the Billy Whitehurst video was brilliant & entertaining, a true hard man of football but also a genuinely nice guy, I remember meeting one of my heroes Kenny Burns a while ago who was in my opinion genuinely tough & could not believe how amiable & friendly he was which is a sign of a true hard man of football, I hope you are well on the mend my friend back to full health & as I have had my own issues I understand a little of what you are experiencing.
Keep the videos coming Matt but more importantly stay safe & well.
Andy 👍
Ah brilliant Andy, I agree, I like people that can handle themselves, but don't cause trouble.
Thank you very much for the sub, and for the message, I really appreciate that. All the best 👊🥊
Class..first Newcastle match i went too we had Billy..loved him as a kid👍
Brilliant 🥊👊👍
Keep up the good videos mate 👊👊
Thank you Jason. I hope you're well 👍🥊
Great to see you back Matt didn't even realise you were in a dark place mate. I've been there a few times bud. You'll come through. 👍 🥊
Best wishes Matt, top quality content as usual.
Thank you. All the best 👍🥊
I remember Billy playing for us (Hull), one of my favourites along with when Marwood use to put crosses on his napper.
But my fondest memory, was the season he put three keepers out in one season 💪.
Proper hard man, no way would he get away with it in today's game
Really! Lol
Yeah he wouldn't last 5 minutes today 👍🥊
Glad you are well Sir. Keep fighting the good fight. I suffer from CPTSD and it crippled me sometimes. It’s hard to follow your own advice.
Anyway be well and thank u for the content!
Keith
Hi Keith, great to hear from you, and thank you for the message.
I totally agree, we don't follow our own advice sometimes.
I hope you're doing ok mate.
All the best
👍🥊
Fabulous piece on Billy Whitehurst Matt, well done mate.
All the best to you mate, get well soon Matt.
Thank you very much Andy 👍🥊
Great stories about Billy a real footballer, not many like Billy anymore, great video 👍👍
Thank you for watching 🥊👍
Very tough footballer Billy was and a true Yorkshire man. Hope your well Matt and keep fighting and stay strong because we all enjoy your channel pal. And all the best from Yorkshire.👍🏻
Definitely 👊💥
Thank you very much for the message 👍🥊
Enjoyed this Matt. I am a blade and net Billy a few times when he was landlord at cricketers arms. I do remember once he had a massive shiner after an altercation with Paul Silky Jones. Stay strong fella 🥊
Thank you. Ah I heard a bit about that, lol.
Did he have trouble with Neil Malpass aswell I heard? 🥊👍
Hi Matt not heard that but it’s possible. Friendly enough Billy and popular landlord but not someone to get on the wrong side of. Heard Billy had a hold of Francis Joseph who had been a bit of a bully at Bramall Lane under Billy arrived. That Wednesday lad who he KO’d is no longer with us sadly. All the best !
Thanks Matt, good stuff.
🥊👍 Thanks again, nice one
Look after yourself Matt, great insight to Billy Whitehurst. Thank you 👍
Thank you Paul 👊👍🥊
Keep well Matt, keep the videos coming ✌🏽

Hope you are feeling better matt..great channel and great content!!
Thank you Steven. I'm feeling great at the moment. I'm fasting for 4 days , it feels great on day 2.5 🥊👍
Big Billy...I'll never forget him...We were apprentices at Benwell the old training ground and believe me it was freezing cold in the winter...Billy used to come out in a short sleeved T-shirt...Top man he was....
🤣🤣Lol, old school tough 👍🥊
@mattlegg1976 Definitely Matt yes!!...I remember him doing a "house" visit....He battered 3 blokes..Trouble was it was the wrong house!!..Hahaha Hahaha 😆
@@davidhallam2375 😯🤣🥊
Loved Billy when he played at Crewe Alex. He only had a handful of games for us (10 or 11), but he was a fans favourite!
Nice one 👍🥊
@mattlegg1976 He never managed to score for us which was annoying because he finished his playing days on 99 career goals 1 short of his century.
