I actually don't think Smith's any grubbier than a lot of players running around. Bird comes quickly to mind. A lot of tackles in SOO 3 were grubby. Lots of arms pressed into the tackled players head, elbows in eye sockets, hands all over faces, crowding, etc. Smith might be a master at getting away with it, but he's not the only one. I've given up on reading the Telegraph after their love-fest for Stuart, and the rubbish they printed about The Prince..
