Simple answer is NO, out of all the players on the steelers teams he played on he was probably one of the players i was least worried about.
He was one of those players that could not back up their mouths. a complete tool.

I couldn't stand him personally, but he was one of those players that if he iced for your team he was held in high regard & vice versa. I disliked Cranston more.

My favourite Plommer moment was from the 1998/99 season at LPS. During a game aginst us he cheaply slashed Roy Mitchell behind the play. Mitchell waited until the end of the shift before turning on Plommer and beating the living crap out of him. Thinking back to Plommer trying to hide behind his hands while Mitchell rained blows on his head always makes me smile  |

Him and Cranston were the same type of player, mouthy and cocky but they made a massive difference to the team. Plommer was the heartbeat of a team that was by far the best in the country at that time. |

Before my time but poor BISL stats if he was an import. BISL was at the end of his career. He wasn't as good as the level the league moved up to but many of the old Heineken League players struggled to shine as the ISL got stronger. |

put it this way , i remember way back in the day someone saying give me a team of 18 Tommy Plommers any day of the week. . Not many about these days that show anywhere near the heart he showed . 5' 8" and would fight anyone and often did .
Cant ever remember him fighting Hunt though , Cranston took a beating off him but not Plommer .

Cranston getting entangled in the netting at the Ice Stadium during a game once is one of the funniest things I have ever seen.

it was Plommer and i think it was Ross Lambert (cracking player by the way) that got roughing penalties before the puck had even been dropped in the championship decider at the old rink .

Never heard of him, sounds like a typical Squeeler, so retiring the shirt sounds fitting.

If Plommer played now 95% of fans that watch Panthers now would be screaming for life time bans!!!!!!
I hated them both at the time but thinking of "the duke" and "Turbo Tim" brings a smile to my face and reminds me why I used to love hockey so much.

Thankfully, back in the day the league wasn't as sanitised as it is now, so when Plommer did cheap shot he was often dealt some rough justice in the form of a sound, well deserved beating, with whoever administered said beating getting 2 or 2+2 at most (See Roy Mitchell example on previous page).
Ahhhhh, those were the days ;D
