Eric Sabinio is a legend in my eyes.

Having been away from blighty for more than seven years now, the names: Shearer, Chalky, Hazard, Digby, Taylor, Summerbee, Kerslake, Calderwood, Fjortoft will be etched in my mind for the rest of my life (Along with McMahon, for all the wrong reasons however).
I have never seen Parkin play, but for me, the very fact that his status as a "legend" is challenged at all tells me that he isn't.
Could you imagine the post "Was Digby a real town Legend?"

What actually defines a legend?
Is it appearances, performance levels, goals scored, being good in a shit team, being outstanding in a good team?
For me it's will people still be talking about them and respecting their contribution a long time after they stopped playing for us.
On that basis its too early to decide if Parkin will be a legend, on the balance of probability I'd say not.
We didn't actually achieve anything during Parkins stint here, I'm not saying he wasn't a glimmer of hope in a time of mostly shite football, just not a legend. Unless, as Janaage says he comes back and does it some more.
And if Parkin doesn't make it the rest of them stand no bloody chance.

He was, albeit at a significantly higher level.
That said, I don't consider that being good in a shit team is enough on its own.
If you read three lines down you'll see what I consider defines a legend, and that is most definitely true of Fjortoft.
To be fair to Parkin, an awful lot more people will have seen Fjortoft play and will therefore be able to wax lyrical about him, but thats what comes of doing it in the Premiership not the Third Division.

I'd go for Trollope, Rogers and Calderwood as legends, possibly Fleming and Morris from way back.
Calderwood mainly for captaining us from div 4 to the top level and overall committment, Trollope for service, Rogers for putting the team on the map
I think length of service has a lot to do with legendary status. - something you just don't get these days.

Good point Reg, in my time Id say White, Shearer, Digby, Calderwood, Taylor, Fjortoft, Parkin. And from that post I deduce that Bushey and I have been watching Town for the same period of time. Personally, I agree that SSP should have legend status, especially as he was the best finisher inside the six yard box I think I've ever seen in a Town shirt. No use without service, mind...

I took a mate with me to the first game that season. He played a lot of football, but was never interested in watching it. By the end of the game he was hooked! When Hoddle scored his goal, he was halfway up a stanchion in the shrivvy road giving the away fans the finger and shouting his head off  |

I reckon that Gnapka should go down as a Myth.
