What constitutes a legend?

I just love the story of him scoring an own goal in his early career. Young as he was he sat slightly scared in the dressing room waiting for the manager to enter after the game... A fuming Paisley came in, saw him and told out angrily "in 1963 they shot the wrong Kennedy!"
 
Seriously though, it was a slightly before my time so all I see is old footage, which is limited. Was he not generally that good the rest of the time or what?

Ergo legend


As I said, it's subjective. Cult heroes I'd class as players who didn't have the trophies to back up their hero status

Some of? He scored 1 goal which wasn't even an equalising goal.

True. Clearly I was foolish to rank that goal as anything other than rubbish because it wasn't the equaliser

Forget his calmly slotted pen in the shootout, then the kiss of the badge. Forget his last acts for us helped give us success most of us hadn't seen for years

... Forget that those acts don't negate the consistently steaming pile of shite he served up constantly throughout his career at Anfield prior to his last act.

I forget those because his last acts were boss
Plus, I liked vladi before then. Could have done a solid job in the hole

Well, he's not a legend in any sense imo. He's a hero but not a legend.

Yeah, I think you have to have a few more moments than Smicer had to be a legend to be honest, but maybe others with a shorter time following the team would think it's enough. It's not as if we have had much to gloat about in the past 20 years. So I guess I can see why anyone involved in our biggest triumph in that time, would get elevated a bit.

Yup. I'm 26 with a shite memory. I can't remember anything well pre 2003, so my legends understandably are mocked, but i haven't seen too many.
 
Legend (by this I mean world footballing legends, not legends at tranmere) - it's one of those things you don't think about - you instinctively know, the names roll off the tongue, Diego, Diego, Diego...

Football legends and Club legends are different things. For real Madrid Ronaldo will allways be a football legend. So will Laudrup. but club legends will be the likes of Manolo Sanchis, which was born and bread in the club (his father played there as well) and who rounded off a nice but not brilliant career with Captaining the side. In many ways he was a Madrileno through and through, and it was easy for the people to identify with him in their fight agaisnt the evil Catalans!
