  • 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.

      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 🥊🥊🥊🥊

    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.

    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.

      Yeah they were a different breed black then. Especially people like Billy, lol.
      Love to you all 🥊👍💙

      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 !
