Tommy Smith was 'ard

Ex-Liverpool hardman Tommy Smith was an uncompromising figure on and off the football pitch, a player who opposition forwards tended to avoid like the plague - and for good reason.

"I did warn players," said Smith.

"When Tottenham striker Jimmy Greaves came out at Anfield one time I handed him a piece of paper.

He said: 'What's this?'

I said: 'Just open it.'

It was the menu from the Liverpool Infirmary."
