Genuine Leicester legends

[BenTheFox]

I think many of us can agree that the word 'legend' is thrown about too loosely. Who in our history do you think is worthy of the title? It's a pretty high bar for me. For instance, I don't consider all of the title winning team legends. Some will find that strange, but the club needs to be relatively exclusive. 

[Sir Shep]

Izzet, Walsh, Vardy, Kasper and loads more!

Mo Sylla, Evis Hammond and N'Gotty.

Personally I think it's tinpot to artificially make club legends an exclusive club that only a few players get into. We're a century old club with a rich history and our title win is by far the biggest defining moment in our history, at a minimum all of the starting XI should be considered club legends and bench players like Nathan Dyer, Andy King and Ulloa should be as well.

 

At the end of the day in 30 years we're all still going to be talking about how Dyer got himself knocked out to win the game against Aston Villa or Ulloa's penalty against West Ham or Andy King being the only player in English football to win league 1, championship and PL with the same club. What else is a legend than someone who does something remarkable for the club that will be talked about for generations?

 

All the bigger clubs have countless club legends, we have so many players with amazing stories that achieved miracles whilst playing for our club, why should we not respect them with legend status?

Can someone enlighten me on the difference between a cult hero and a legend?

 

Anyone?

Officially a legend seems to be anyone who's willing to work for the club on a match day. 

[AKCJ]

Vardy, King, Albrighton, Morgan, Walsh, Elliott, Schmeichel and Izzett could all get a statue tomorrow and I wouldn’t bat an eyelid.

 

Yes there are plenty who came here and won things but none like the above. There were maybe better players than some as well.

You have mispelled the word cvnt my friend.  

[Sampson]

Think in recent times Vardy, Schmeichel and Morgan are no brainers. Mahrez should be a no brainer too but a weird small minority of our fans bizarrely seem to hate him.

 

King and Albrighton then as well even if there were more talented players (though both were still fantastic players at their peak) had some incredible moments and great longevity.

It's in the eye of the beholder much like beauty often influenced by your first heros.

[David Hankey]

Arthur Rowley, just look at his record here. Also our World Cup winner, Gordon Banks.

It’s just vibes based. I’d call people like Lloyd Dyer and Leonardo Ulloa cult heroes instead of legends but couldn’t tell you why as both were fantastic players for us.

You'll never get agreement on this, it's so subjective 

 

Here's the Google definition FWIW:

 

Somebody can be a hero for 15 minutes, a day, maybe a month, but eventually over time, heroes are forgotten and lost in society, while legends did something so extraordinary that they will never be forgotten

Does one sub appearance in the Masters 6 a side count ?

If so put me down.

Most football legends will be forgotten by 2 or 3 generations then. Hardly anyone on here would cite players pre the 50s other than by looking at their stats which we know don't always tell the true story.

You must be dead to be classed as a legend.

You wouldn’t consider Paul McCartney or Bob Dylan legends of popular music?
