Legends Way fan vote: choose the 14 legends

[Captain Slackbladder]

Imagine being triggered by this....

 

[Richie K]

Massive legend

1 league title
1 European championship
3 fa cups
3 league cups
1 player of the year
150 caps for her country
1 MBE

The OP on the other hand:

87% in his cycling proficiency test

Yeah but most of that wasn't achieved while playing for Sunderland.

 

[KGC83]

It's embarrassing mind. As well as Peter Reid being on it.

Why?

 

[Wolf82]

We're the opposite of the likes of Man C and Chelsea where most of our success + best players were not long after football started whereas most of theirs were recent.

The mags idolise Sheera but our all time record goalscorer had a much better record and won a league + fa cup.. then got ignored on this silly poll

Maybe a legend in ladies football but not at Sunderland AFC or indeed in Sunderland.

 

[Chop Sauce]

Total joke of a process. Massive fuck up by the club. How the fuck is Gurney not on there.

 

[scott934]

I would have assumed Gurney, Buchan, Allan were nailed on. Even Porterfield realistically shouldn't be ahead of them, nevermind Defoe or Jill Scott.

 

[SuperKevsLeftBoot]

are the lads from the league winning days on there?

Only Raich Carter.

 

[parsonjohn1985]

Keira Ramshaw played 300 odd games for Sunderland (which in womens football is an unbelievable number as they play less games), basically the Jimmy Montgomery of Sunderland Women.

Jill Scott is a good ambassador and does great stuff with the academy, but she didn’t actually do much as a player here. Thats what I don’t like about. If you’re going to include a women, include one who is a legend for the womens team and not just the famous one.

Or Sue Cox nee Smith.

Still top scorer I think.

 

[SuperKevsLeftBoot]

Only Raich Carter.

That’s bllx then.
Surely should be more?

 

[BlackHoleSun]

Can't possibly read a dozen pages of meltdown

Has this been announced then

 

[Feed the Monster]

1. Carter
2. Gurney
3. Doig
4. Allen
5. Hurley
6. Shackleton
7. Kerr
8. Porterfield
9. Rowell
10. Bennett
11. Murray
12. Ball
13. Quinn
14. Phillips

was mine

12 of mine were the same.

Had Mapson instead of Doig and Watson not Allen

 

[MiddleAgedMan]

Why?

Is this a serious question?

Sunderland (and other managers/head coaches) have won the top flight six times. The FA cup twice.

Reid finished seventh twice.

That’s bllx then.
Surely should be more?

Probably all 14 of them should be, plus Allan

 

[seaham ftm]

Why?

Why would Peter Reid and Jill Scott be considered 2 of the 14 most significant people in the clubs history? You're seriously asking that?

 

[Eric gates hair]

Yea.

Why .

 

[Rocky77]

Has the 14 been released?

 

[FlashGordon]

That wasn't the question to be fair. It was "pick your 14 legends". 15 year old Sunderland fans care more about Defoe or Scott than Doig or Thorpe. They also saw them play and know about them. They probably don't give a shit who was top scorer in the 1894/95 season.

 

[cook]

All time leading scorer should have been a compulsory pick by the club.

As has been mentioned, unless you're of a certain age, very, very few that voted will have even seen him play.
