If we are talking "club legends" let's not restrict this to players, Alan Buckley has to be in there IMO

Dave Moore for wearing shorts in freezing temperatures.


When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”

Matt Tees,without a doubt.  Best header of a ball I've ever seen

To me ...legend shouldn't really  be used for anyone who hasn't racked up at least 250 games for us.....any less and you may qualify to be a bit of a cult hero but not a legend.

Quoted from Rodley Mariner
Firstly it's a nonsense discussion as it's completely objective. However....for me I think longevity of memory is a big factor.So I'm not sure if McKeown will be particularly remembered in 50 years despite great service to the club but I suspect Gav Holahan might be for that night in Southampton.


That’s more of a legendary game than a club legend. If you’re including players on those terms surely Paul Wilkinson and Phil Jevons must be included for those nights in scouse land and also Wayne Burnett for the Golden Goal in our first Wembley appearance ever. Different category in my opinion .

Quoted from MuddyWaters


In terms of goalkeepers, Macca probably wouldn't make the top three keepers I've seen for Town - in terms of quality, Trevor Whymark was the best footballer I've seen in black & white but possibly wasn't here long enough to be a legend.

If 'impact' is the criterion by which we are judging, it would probably narrow it down to Tees & Brace from the early 1970's, Waters then Kev Moore, Paul Futcher and John McDermott.


Macca was a great servant in goal for Town, but I don't think he would even make my top 10.

If you seen Wymark play for town, surely these goalkeepers were better than Macca

So futcher is a cult hero on the basis that he joined us so late and only really played 3 seasons or the equivalent.
