Legends Way fan vote: choose the 14 legends

[errant]

Should just use chunky's poll, all the hardwork has been done already.

 

[Mowgli]

The vote should have had a little i icon or blurb that went through what each done at SAFC.

Anybody voting for Jill Scott needs to give their head a wobble

But a talented and committed Sunderland lad who was an ever present in a very good side.

He’s earned the right. And certainly has if Ball is making the shortlist!

I don’t get the hate for Mickey Gray. Have a look at a compilation of Lord Niall’s goals and note how many came from his crosses. If it’s just because of that pitiful penalty attempt that’s pathetic and don’t forget he was an important part of the team that got us to fhat point and promoted the following year.

Charles Buchan, Dave Halliday, Raich Carter, Len Shackleton, Charlie Hurley and Monty; six definite picks in my book.
After those six legends it's any eight from a cast of hundreds.

Would have thought Gurney a definite pick also

 

[Dadsarmy73]

Can we have an infamy bog as well where there’s 12 urinals with pictures of twats like Rodwell, Moyes and Stubbs faces on

 

[Lo Ursem]

Would have thought Gurney a definite pick also

A good shout - I knew he was prolific in the great '36 team but didn't realise how good his overall scoring record was throughout his Sunderland career. If anyone, after Carter, has to be chosen from that thirties team it would have to be him. The current generation of fans have fond memories of Gary Rowell, Kevin Phillips and further back Cloughie. None of those are near to Gurney in terms of goals for Sunderland, especially top-flight goals.

This is news to me and I can find no evidence online.

Either you weren’t around at the time or didn’t take any notice of the local tv news or read the local papers then.

Bennett was arrested on at least 4 separate occasions for drink driving and/or assault 85-90 time.

I’ll vote when Gareth hall and mcdonagh get added

Surely the best course of action would be the Cub Historian selecting, rather than a popularity contest.

are you suggesting a country that would name a ship boaty mcboatface or tick the jedi religion box on the census may not be a nation best suited to public votes\referendums?

cause i think you might have a point.

I'm thinking a country that voted for Brexit might not be trusted to make sensible decisions.

 

[Vauxie]

Don't even know if you're being serious here, like.

First British woman to do it.
Sir Walter was her grandad

 

[mik]

Has woltemade been mentioned

 

[Chop Sauce]

Jill Scott deserves one imo, one of, if not, the biggest names in womans football.

Jesus Christ.

Pickford and Henderson did mire at Sunderland than her.....like play for the first team.

Exactly.
That’s a terrible list. Some absolute legends missing and some on that list a no way even on an safc radar ffs.

As I thought...

I loved Micky Gray, one of my favourite players of that time. I loved that left wing partnerrship with Magic-Al.

11 spaces for the 1973 cup winning side.

I like Mickey as well, was gutted when he missed that penalty

Not being funny, but why should they be lauded any more than the 1937 winning team? Or any of the league title winning sides?

If anything, based on their actual records for Sunderland, not many of the 1973 side would reach the pantheon of all time greats (tin hat might need to go on). Monty obviously. Probably Kerr. But after that?

 

[Vauxie]

John Kay was my suggestion for additional choices but Julio is a glaring omission too.

You mean Julio the ex buwa player?
