[snootyfenooty]

Doc Pace

Based on who I have seen. Agree with the others but obviously not Johnson, before my time.

 

[Bladeloyal]

Shred ...

 

[jockdodds]

Fatty Foulke - and dare i say - Jock Dodds?

 

[bibbity bobbity boo]

William Foulke?
Keith Edwards

 

[Nade]

<<------------

 

[Davalon]

Barry Robson.

 

[Bashar Al Asaba]

Billy Sharp obviously.

 

[CarlingBlade]

I'd be tempted to add Billy Sharp to that list, I don't think he gets the credit he deserves.

 

[LoughboroBlade]

Barry Robson.

True club bellend.

 

[Davalon]

True club bellend.

THREAD RUINED.

 

[Plymouthblade]

Dean Hammond

 

[Plymouthblade]

Sorry couldn’t resist seemed it had been ruined already

 

[Plymouthblade]

There’s a few borderline ones but legend is a big word

 

[BornOnShorehamStreet]

Alan Hodgkinson has to be in that list

 

[Plymouthblade]

Mel Rees

 

[Paisley Blade]

Jimmy Dunne. 169 goals in 173 appearances including holding the record for goals scored in consecutive games in top flight.

Ave it.

Of the original 6 posted; I’d like to see the reasons behind them being chosen as legends.

For instance - what makes Brian Deane a club legend?

 

[3-GBlade]

Billy Gillespie for sure!

 

[Plymouthblade]

I can only go back as far as Deane really but he stands out to me to this day.
Suppose each and everyone have their own legends

I don't think Needham, Johnson, Shaw or Currie need any qualification.

 

[Pollingtonblade]

Why on Earth Dooley gets a statue is beyond me.

Currie, Woodward, Edwards, Deane all far more worthy

 

[bartman]

Mel Rees

Why would he be a legend ? He played only a handful of games for us . Yes it was very sad what happened but he isn't a legend in my opinion

 

[tyneblade]

You can't start that list never mind finish it without Jimmy Dunne. Not content with keeping the consecutive scoring record from the pig Vardy.

"...in 1939, he was captain of an Irish side that was the last to visit Germany before Hitler’s invasion of Poland. Dunne and his team-mates were told to follow England’s example from the previous year and give the Nazi salute before their match in Bremen. Dunne refused to raise his arm and encouraged his colleagues to do the same."

"Dunne, who also coached Shamrock Rovers and Bohemians, died suddenly from a heart attack in November, 1949, aged 44. He was buried in Dublin in his Sheffield United shirt."
