Last night whilst drinking and chatting a mate and I got on to the Legends 3 star rating that the club had in the back of the programme. After agreeing that certain players had no place at all in it, we also decided that a five star rating would be better. So, we set about putting some players in to 5 Star Legend categories. We had very few rules, but any player in the 5 Star category must be beyond discussion. If one of us wasn't sure then the best they could do was 4. Also, even 1 Star is still a Town legend, so the current squad don't get in just by being here! I'm 37, my mate 45, so I guess this reflects our ages to a degree, I'm interested to know what other TEFfers think, who you'd move, who's missing, who should be removed completely. Finally, although neither of us saw Harold Fleming or Rod Thomas play, we knew they should be up there somewhere. Below is the result of a semi drunken discussion, and now the views of some on here.
5 Star Legend Don Rogers John Trollope Harold Fleming Peter Downsborough Bob Menham 4 Star Legend Andy Rowland Colin Calderwood Fraser Digby Rod Thomas Shaun Taylor Paul Bodin Jan Aage Fjortoft Peter Noble 3 Star Duncan Shearer Alan Mayes Charlie Henry Sam Parkin Jimmy Allen Kenny Stroud David Moss Steve White Dave Bamber Peter Eastoe 2 Star Chris Kamara John Moncur Martin Ling Alan Maclaughlin Brian Williams Stan Harland Ray McHale 1 Star Kenny Allen Jimmy Quinn Simon Cox Tom Jones Mark Walters Micky Hazard Glenn Hoddle Ernie Hunt Mike Summerbee Phil King Jon Gittens Brian Williams (Any member of the 69 team that don't feature elsewhere). I await the abuse.  Edit: Amended as we go, trying to take peoples' views into account... |

Dave Bamber is much too low.
No Jimmy Quinn, Phil King nor John Gittens?

If we missed King and Gittens, then it's becuase we were drinking. What's your excuse for missing Quinn?  Where would you place Bamber, King and Gittens? Also, it was never intended to be an exhaustive list, hence posting it up here. |

Bodin deserves to be 5 star and I'd probably say Maskell deserves to be around somewhere.

Gittens & King prob 1 star. Bamber for me is a 4/5 star. |

As an oldie, I would have Mike Summerbee and Ernie Hunt in there somewhere, and I would have thought Nicky Summerbee might just creep into the one stars? Also Stan Harland of the 69 team should be more than one star i think

If I ever start taking notes to post later on the internet when I'm out on the sauce, I hereby give permission for someone to punch me in the face.

I don't agree - what they have done seems more than reasonable for a quiet Wednesday night out. |

I'd give Digby and Calderwood 5 stars.
Edit: and at least one star for Hoddle, surely?
