Had this discussion with mates after the game, id say parkin as he got 20+ 3 seasons running hell of a player for us.
Id then say reeves for duty and the way he conducted himself.
Thats it, sad days....!

Parkin was quality in his time here obviousley but I dont think he's a true legend.
Compare him to Fjortoft and he looks a bit shit really. So the answer is none

Agreed. No one from the last 5 years could be seen as a legend in my eyes.

I sat there and said to my mate last night - Parkin couldn't hold a candle to Big Dunc or The Aeroplane - to me they were proper legends....
Sam was good - but not quite legend stakes - needed to play a bit of a higher level for that really....

parkin is our best player of the last 10 years.forget how good others were before him.loads of kids and younger fans wouldn't have seen them play.so i'd say super sammy desrves legendary status.

None of the players from the past 5 years is the way I;d go as well. Parkin was a consistent goalscorer but not near good enough to be a legend in the clubs history. Many will have decent records over a few years but not earned that right. You could say Fjortoft was only here for just shy of 2 years but he showed such class above what we'd seen and did it at the highest level. He'd probably be the last true legend the club will have seen. Taylor and White stayed longer but would be legends before him. White's an odd one because he's not a legend on ability, ore through hard work and graft that made him a goalscorer.

I always argue that legend is a status reserved for very few.......I prefer the term hero. SSP certainly fits that category, if in this day and age hero = legend, then yes he he is the last.

Good point Reg, in my time Id say White, Shearer, Digby, Calderwood, Taylor, Fjortoft, Parkin.

Parkin from the last 5 years and that's it. I say that because not only did he score goals it was general attitude on the pitch and towards the club and the fans as well.

If Parkin rejoined STFC in the near future and continued his scoring feats for Town then I would say yes, he can be labelled a legend.
At present though in my eyes, he is not a legend.
