Legends Way fan vote: choose the 14 legends

[jarrowdiamond]

Posters who are complaining did you vote?

Yes

And I can guarantee Jill Scott didn't get the votes required.

 

[viccarlton]

I bet most people who voted didn't research any of the names they hadn't heard of. The list shows you should never ask the public, they know next to nowt.

Reminded me of the Brexit vote.

Not having Scott and Defoe getting on mind

 

[SAFC11]

I wouldn't have made it an open vote. Should have been decided on achievements with the club. I understand why they wanted try and include the women, but most the choices were poor as they did little actually here

 

[Longy]

The only argument for Defoe is the Bradley Lowery stuff. He is absolutely a million miles from a legend for on the pitch performance.

Reid and Defoe were not even on the shortlist. Snacks of wanting some people alive and available to attend an unveiling to me.

Murray, Reid, Defoe, Scott are embarrassing selections.

Actually aye, for all I’m pissed off about him leaving, the stuff with Bradley should outweigh that. I’m just being petty about the league one stint anyhow.

Dunno who has made the cut but surely, James Allan has to have one, alongside Carter, Shack and Gurney

No James Allan or gurney.

But the im a celeb winner got one

Jill Scott?!

Absolutely no way Jill Scott won that place with votes.

Lovely lass and everything but there should be a separate place at the SOL to honour the woman's team.

Daft really but nevermind I still like the idea of Legends way overall.

Shocking that, the club should really make an exception and add those 2 in.
Can't see how Jill Scott has one, legend for the women's game, maybe, but not in a Sunderland shirt?

Are these all getting statues ?

Nah, just stones on the floor.

Genuinely bewildered that Charlie Buchan didn’t make the final list; he’s an absolute footballing legend.

 

[Father Larry Duff]

Buchan not getting in is embarrassing. He wasn’t just a Sunderland legend. He was a footballing idol throughout the country. I mean it blows my mind he isn’t in.

 

[StayPuft]

See our history started in 1973 as usual. Embarrassing that Scott, Defoe and Peter Reid got in mind

 

[Fact Hunt]

I think they should have just let Rob Mason select the final legends list, it would have been far more realistic and representative of our history.

 

[North Yorks Mackem]

Jill Scott and defoe getting on there and Marco not is a farce tbh. Actually Jill Scott getting on full stop is a total joke.

And i dont like the fact that Murray is on there. This should be for players.

He should have been replaced by Johnny Cochrane, the last Sunderland manager to win the league in 1936.

 

[Rob the Ref]

I heard some names being read out pre kick off but as a lot of them were not on the published voting list I didn’t realise the purpose.
If they are going in legends way then the club have made a giant cock up.

 

[Geppetto]

Bob Murray was a surprise inclusion tbh.

Buchan should have been in there. Absolute legend.
