for the first time ever i find myself COMPLETELY agreeing with the original post in its entirety.
i can think of many players who deserve the Legend moniker more than messers Stewart, Booth and Rhodes ( i would be tempted to leave Jacko in there , wasnt the most gifted footballer but was not afraid to throw in a tackle and if you wanted an on the field leader he was your man)
George Brown and Clem Stephenson not being on the list is a travesty but a good case can also be made for the likes of
Vic Metcalf over 400 appearances and if not for competition from Finney and Matthews would have racked up far more than 2 england caps
Tom Wilson , another thrice champion second in appearances , was captain before Clem Stephenson , was captain of the team for our FA cup win holds club record of 52 consecutive fa cup appearances
and i know he left for them down Road but what about Trevor Cherry , captain of the 2nd division winning team in 1970
