‘Legend’ or ‘Greatest Ever’ are terms bandied about pretty recklessly in modern-day sport. It seems a player only has to hang around for a couple of seasons to find themselves suddenly ‘in the conversation’. But surely a club legend has to have made a much more significant impact on the hearts and minds of the club and its fans?

As you are a young whippersnapper I'll forgive you putting Benito Carbone as a midfielder when he was actually a forward.

How come you missed Chris Nichol from the list?
Haha ..was trying to squeeze and extra striker into the 4 4 2 format. Although I do remember him playing LW on a few occasions? Probably wrong

Was he mentioned anywhere? Not sure, not looked back, I didn't compile the list.

How you are that age (not much younger than me) and omitting Magic Merse is a travesty!

Not the best ever but Les Sealey came on loan & did us proud, I think I remember him chasing after the Ref during one game!
