Bruce has sparked a real interesting debate on twitter about how many legends you consider the club to have and what defines the word ' club legend ' . Interested to hear others thoughts on this on who you consider a legend and why? Tweet attatched below.

Well anyone my age will have Matt Tees up there. To add 5000 to the home gate was a reflection of the esteem we all had for him.

After that add Joe Waters, Tony Ford, Bob Cumming and Kevin Moore for what they achieved at the club and the number of appearances they made during that successful period.

That can’t be argued with 👍

Depends on how you define the term. For me though during my time watching town since 2005 - McDermott, Disley, Pearson and McKeown would be mine.

However if you’d watched town since the 70’s and 80’s only really Macca gets on your list.

Came across this a few months back, hard to argue with the names on it. Not sure the likes of McKeown, Pearson etc should be listed as legends.

I think that's very subjective though, I was born in 96. I was too young to remember 98. From what I can remember, the only good season we've had in the FL is 05. Every other season since has been terrible mixed with NL success. So what I constitute to be a club legend will be a lot different to others.. For me Mckeown, Pearson and Disley were the 3 big signings that changed the trajectory of the club. We was at our lowest after having many players coming in for one last pay check. All 3 very rarely missed a game, helped within the local community and live in the area. To me those 3, Mcdermott and Dave Moore are club legends.

I think that’s the difference between ‘club legends’ and maybe fan’s favourites. For me a legend is someone loved by the club no matter when they played. A fan’s favourite is exactly that, someone in your era you’ve witnessed playing.
