Oh, Vasty says no so he can't be

He did turn down Bradford. So then Vasty who do you class as a legend?

No matter how many times I see it I just can't help myself!

A bit like David Batty claiming Real Madrid were interested in him!

No offence to Marchy I just don't buy it.

Fair enough, believe what you like.

March was a better player than what he was credited for.

Adam get over yourself - very churlish outburst.

For anyone to claim David March as a legend for me is wrong, it degrades those who actually were and in our case nearly all came from the team of the 1960's. And before you start I spent the best part of two weeks putting Daves testimonial - why? Because I liked him as a player and he was loyal in the sense that he always gave his best. But a legend, not in this lifetime.

As for the Bradford thing, is that remotely relevent?., How would you know I doubt even Dave remembers it was so long ago.

Wally Lewis was a legend and he did it in 10 games! The reason was simple, he was just bl**dy awesome. You seriously comparing those two?

I know it's all about opinions but I say again, come on!

How the fook do you expect me to compare March and Lewis? I know your an old timer but I certainly am not.

Not exactly claiming he is a legend but of people claim Korky is one March deserved to be a king. Like I said in previous post, I can’t really think of anyone I have seen wear a Trin shirt who deserves the legend tag……..

Been fortunate to have seen three undisputable 'legends' in my time watching Wakefield - Neil Fox, David Topliss and (even though it was very brief) Wally Lewis.

To be honest I don't think anyone else has come anywhere near being afforded that accolade, otherwise it just demeans the term and its status.

Lewis was a legend but not a Wakefield legend.

Get to the playoffs and win the GF and I'll give you JD (so you can say you've seen one Trin legend in your lifetime )

More a cult figure than a legend. Said it before and I'll say it again, Toppo was the last, and we'll be waiting a long time for the next.
