Hunt said that, in the days before VAR, it was possible to get away with reducer tackles, which always drew a big reaction from the crowd in the stadium.
He also said that his disciplinary record was relatively untarnished, and he sometimes went into these challenges to get the fans on his side and gain momentum.
"You can get away with it without VAR," He said.
"I actually just took the ball off him and I thought, 'Okay I could have smashed you there'.
"Back then, fans rise off their seat, and you can lift off and you can gain confidence throughout the whole stadium. That could be a momentum shift.
"Listen, I was only sent off twice in 22 years, but I always knew when I was on the edge.
"I always knew if I do this I'm going to get sent off, if I do this I'm on the line. I always knew when I'd get away with it."
Hunt also spoke about his recent close encounter with Chelsea fans at Stamford Bridge and praised an underrated former Ireland teammate who recently retired.
