reddogkev Posted June 11, 2019 Report Share Posted June 11, 2019 Reading the fantastic Peter John Atyeo thread (never knew his first name was Peter before) has led me to ponder how many legends we have. Ok, so this is very subjective, and unless I'm mistaken, there is no clear definition for a Club Legend. But who can we all agree on? I'll start with John Atyeo as the clear and obvious, and will add Brian Tinnion to the list as my personal club legend. I feel that Tinman has to be a legend, due to time served as a quality player for us, and for his continuing work with the City youth players. I'll forgive him his time as a manager! Clearly there are many others in the history of City - but I don't want to start this thread just listing them from my wobbly memory, so who would you suggest?

Dolman Original Posted June 11, 2019 Report Share Posted June 11, 2019 Would be a different club if Harry Dolman hadn’t been around. Reckon that’s good enough for legend status. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never seen him play but OTIB were very critical of his early games. My father saw him play and told me he was a very good footballer. To get the number of England caps he did, even in those far off days, tells me that, without doubt, he deserves to be a City legend. 10 minutes ago, Eastside Moonwalker said: Mo Eisa, Garita, Evander Sno, Ryan Fredericks, Gustav Engvall and Stefan Marinovic Didn't take long for the idiots to join in!

Rudolf Hucker Posted June 11, 2019 Report Share Posted June 11, 2019 Carey is seldom the first name that springs to mind when threads such as this arise on OTIB. For some reason fans, including me, never seemed to warm to him as much as they have say, to Scotty. Louis of course deserves recognition in everyone’s list. John Galley would always make my own top twenty as would Chris Garland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pongo88 Posted June 11, 2019 Report Share Posted June 11, 2019 It depends on how you define “club legend”. If it’s the club, as a whole, including the supporters then @Never to the dark side must be on the list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
