Loads of Belends thoughno .
When you mention legend it usually ends up as a favourite or popular player doesn't it ? The likes of Curtis,Hudson,Hutchison,come to mind,but to be honest not one springs to mind since them.
Since Dublin, is there a player we can genuinely class as 'legend'?
I don't mean 'very good' or 'fantastic for half a season' but... is there anybody in the same vein as him, Peake, Ferguson...?

It depends if you define this over hyped term purely by ability or also include loyalty and longevity of service.
Reda is a cult figure when he's fit and having a impact on the pitch. There's a sense of belief at corners when he struts up.
Mo konjic. Was a bit of a warrior type, used to get the crowd going when he surged forward.
Konjic ain't a bad shout. A poor man's Killer.
He was crap so ability means nothing then?
I said he wasn't a bad shout.
Wh
at Konjic did have was character, and the ability to drive the mood of a team and a club. Probably not around long enough to compensate for his ability or otherwise, but he was probably at the same level for the team he was in, as Kilcline was for his.
Careful going by his comment Grendel is going to throw Paul Telfer or Stephen Hughes into the mix....
He was crap so ability means nothing then?
Richard Shaw actually
One incredibly good season, couldn't defend for toffee otherwise, 10 out of 10 for loyal service. But yes, that's easily the best shout to the op's Q? so far.Richard Shaw actually

You could use the word Cult instead of legend ? Speedie was a cult for us wasn't he ? Defenders and opposition players called him that,well it sounded like a cult !To a degree.
But it's also someone who you can't help but admire for either their guts, or the way they drag a team up from nothing.
Dublin was never my favourite player but my God, you couldn't help but admire just how much extra he gave the team, how we always had a puncher's chance of a result with him there.
Killer wasn't a great player and, OK, he was helped by being in a cup winning side, but there was someone hard as nails who was there season after season, who brought character to the team and the club.
Struggling to think even of personalities. And those we have move on quick, before they get a chance to make a true name for themselves!
I think Sam Ricketts should be put under the title of captain leader legend!!
Anyone who had a testimonial? Can't think of many help me out here.
Arguably the worst captain in the history of the club.
