'Size meant nothing to Davey'
It's time for the second part of former Newcastle defender John Anderson's countdown of the toughest players to represent the Magpies over the past 50 number three and the bronze medal, it's Brian arrived at Newcastle from Oldham Athletic in 1992, making 39 appearances in two seasons in the North East. His long hair and moustache combination gave him a distinctive look."He was a no-nonsense centre back who didn't take any messing about from anyone. He was a right handful, who put himself about and led by example. He told his team-mates if they weren't putting a shift in. He would head and kick anything above grass height."In second place, Anderson chose David McCreery, who made over 250 appearances for the Magpies between 1982 and 1989."He was an exceptional player and he loved a tackle. Supporters loved him, and if you asked players to pick a side to go to battle with, he is the one player you would always want."He wasn't the biggest in the world, but he would run through a brick wall. Size meant nothing to Davey."Listen to Anderson's selections hereAnd come back in a couple of hours to find out who he has at the top of his list
