Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} The Hardest Christmas Ever by Patrick O'Flaherty 'Forever Christmas': Release date, plot, cast, trailer and all you need to know about Lifetime's holiday movie. Christmas is one of the most wonderful times of the year. It is the season of miracles, happiness and enjoyment. For some, the season has a healing effect and it ignites warm fuzzy feelings. Even though Christmas is almost two months away, the list of films to watch during the festive season just keeps growing. You might already have a list in place, but there are some movies you might want to check out. Along with the usual Christmas festivities, if you add romance to the mix, it becomes even more special. ‘Forever Christmas’ is one such movie which might just make it to your Christmas movie list this year. If you are curious to know more about the movie, here are the details. Release date. ‘Forever Christmas’ will air on Sunday, October 25, 8 pm ET on Lifetime. The official synopsis of the movie reads as, “When workaholic reality TV producer Sophie starts working on a holiday-season show about Will, a handsome guy who celebrates Christmas every day of the year, she finds herself falling for her mysterious, unlikely new star, renewing her long-lost faith in Christmas in the process.” While this gives a hint about what the movie is about, it would be interesting to know why Sophie had lost her faith in Christmas and the reason behind our male protagonist celebrating the festival every day of the year. The movie stars Chelsea Hobbs, Christopher Russell, Matthew Anderson and Jill Morrison. Chelsea Hobbs.

The trailer introduces us to our protagonist Will and his beautiful Christmas decorations inside his house. While Will represents someone who goes all out to celebrate Christmas – in his case every day of the year – Sophie seems to be skeptical about the holiday season. However, her perception seems to be changing after meeting Will and spending time with him. The trailer also gives a peek into their blossoming romance.

It certainly isn’t a definitive list, but here are some of the most famous and most brutal hard men to play in the Premier League. Roy Keane. Former Manchester United captain Keane was infamous for his hard-man image, with his bust-ups with Patrick Vieira and that revenge tackle on Alf-Inge Haaland just two examples. So much was his ferocious nature that he could frighten anyone, with former referee Mark Clattenburg saying: “I still smile at the first time I came across Roy Keane. “He screamed at us for a corner and I’m sure it was a goal kick, but because he screamed at us so loudly, I gave a corner. I was that petrified of him.” He’s still terrifying people today. Vinnie Jones. The staple member of Wimbledon’s ‘Crazy Gang’, any highlights from the Premier League’s early years is likely to feature Jones launching himself into tackles yet receiving just yellow cards and warnings from officials. “Jones would always say, ‘Look at him, he’s bricking himself, and if a ball came in they would always say they would destroy you,” recalled former Arsenal defender Martin Keown, adding that he remembered the midfielder “headbutting the toilet door”. And in 1995, he even extended to journalists when he bit Daily Mirror reporter Ted Oliver on the nose, three years after angering the FA by releasing a Christmas video entitled ‘Soccer’s Hard Men’. David Batty. A cult hero at every club he lined up for, former Leeds academy graduate Batty was famed for his no-nonsense, unapologetic style of play. “In the trenches, I want Batts alongside me,” said former team-mate Tony Dorigo, who recalled a training incident where Batty broke Keith Curle’s jaw. “I think he’s gone up for the ball, elbowed him right in his jaw and broken it. Curley comes back to the table at dinner time after getting his jaw done and Batts is there sitting next to me. “Of course, all Curley can actually eat is soup through a straw. So we’re all laughing, obviously, and we’re thinking Batts is going to say something. “He said absolutely nothing and just got up, finished his meal and went back to his room. I’m thinking, ‘Batts, just say sorry!’ “There was no sympathy. He was ultra-competitive, a great player, but if you get out on that pitch you better watch out.” Duncan Ferguson. In his early days at Rangers, Ferguson famously spent three months in jail for headbutting Raith Rovers’ John McStay during a match – though he didn’t even receive a yellow card for the incident. Another famous story is regularly recounted where Ferguson found two burglars in his house, with one escaping and one spending three days in hospital as a result of their, ahem, encounter. Former Everton team-mate James McFadden recalled: “We played Charlton and Herman Hreidarsson was running about smashing people and Big Dunc is sitting on the bench getting annoyed. Ferguson came on. “I say ‘aw no’. As soon as the ball comes in, Hreidarsson thought he was getting a nudge but no, he cracked him, and he just fell like a domino. He just walked off and says ‘sorry lads’.” Jaap Stam. Ok, so the bald head and menacing glare add to it, but Stam’s feisty side made him a notoriously difficult centre-back to play against. In a 2012 interview, Stam was asked if he was a hard man, to which he responded: “A player recently came at me with a head-butt, so I grabbed him and put him in a head-lock. He looked a bit blue when I let him go.” And one of Sir Alex Ferguson’s biggest regrets at Manchester United has shown he still enjoys a good cruncher when playing in the Soccer Aid charity games, even injuring singer Olly Murs.

Stuart Pearce. When a player’s nickname is ‘Psycho’, the clues are definitely already there. His unforgiving style of play led to Matt Le Tissier describing him as his scariest opponent ever in his autobiography, while Pearce was so hard he once played on with a broken leg. He suffered the injury during the first half of a match against Watford, making it to half-time before trying to make his way out for the second period before being held back. “He put his boot back on and said ‘I’ll give it a go’,” said manager Harry Redknapp. “Even he can’t run off such a bad injury.” Mick Harford. Perhaps the hardest of them all, Harford was a throwback even in the early days of the Premier League. A truly archetypal No.9, Harford still has a scar today on his lip from a Sam Allardyce elbow – but unsurprisingly he got his own back in an FA Cup clash down the line. “I just tried to hurt him, to be honest,” Harford told the Daily Mail in 2017.”I went in two-footed and threw elbows until I caught him once on the forehead and there was a little trickle of blood. That was probably when I was at my most vindictive on the football pitch.” Harford holds no grudge against Allardyce, though, saying it’s “just the way it was” and describes himself as a brave player rather than a hard one: “I wouldn’t say I was hard. Just brave, really. I put my head in where it hurt and never shirked a challenge.
