I actually remembered big Dunc when we started this thread.
I loved the guy...saw him play many times, and also on his debut. Spoke to him outside W H Smith once. I saw him score 4 goals v the Chickens.
However he was never in my legend status because he only played a couple of years with us.
Same with Craig Maskell who was my 2nd favourite player ever for Town. What he did in that one brilliant season for us I will always remember.
Same with Tom Cowan...my all time hero for the club....he was just fantastic for us. Played about 3 years (I think) but gave everything.
Are the players above, legends for the club ???
No...I don't think so. It's not about who you remember as a player....who you think was a legend.
For me it's about who made a DIFFERENCE for our club...
That could be a promotion/save relegation/win a cup etc etc.
So on that basis...Duncan Shearer never changed owt, as did Craig Maskell or Tom Cowan. Neither did Marcus Stewart.
That 1920's 3 times winning team (3 or more players) absolutely should be classed as legends.
As should Herbert Chapman.....how the fook he never made it on there is a mystery. Our greatest ever manager.
