Legends Way fan vote: choose the 14 legends

[Stella Spark]

Does anyone really give a shit? It’s a f***ing brick man. More important things to get upset about

Could say that about out.

May as well scrap the whole thing, there's more important things.

 

[Weststand]

Can’t be arsed
Why 14?

Nee Idea

 

[Stella Spark]

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.

This is why the stones are so important. Educate fans who don't know their history. They should and would have known who our top ever scorer is. Instead, they've got no idea who any of our players are, and think the jungle queen is one of, if not the, greatest players ever to play for safc.
Madness

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

So how many times have you watched her play?

Why not Bryan Robson? Captain Marvel won loads.

 

[Ohnonotagain]

The vast majority of Sunderland fans wouldn’t even know what position she played.

I don’t, don’t care either. Women’s football is still crap imo.

Where's Luke??
Expecting pelters but don't think any lasses should be on there

Absolutely deserves to be in the conversation.

Has been with us from the lowest finish in our history to what is likely going to be either our third or fourth highest in about 60 years (actually I'm unsure of since when)

 

[Pussfella]

A separate area to celebrate and honour the woman would have made far more sense and then we could have all got behind that idea.

This makes the most sense. Few bricks in the kitchen wall etc

 

[Chop Sauce]

Has this farce been scrapped yet?

Jill Scott?!

I knew there would be a woman player included for political correctness.
Its ridiculous, no way on earth will she have got enough votes to be in the top 14. Even if she had got 0 votes they would have still included her. And a true 'legend' will have missed out to include her.

 

[MarcoG]

Jermain Defoe

People get upset about Borini not wanting to play for us - a myth they made up in their head - and vote for the fella who didn't want to play for us and walked out on the club in the middle of a promotion battle with a pack of made up lies leaving us with one fit centre forward.

The club loves a good virtue signal, they are masters of it

They've sent an email out and has a few names headlined and rest as 'many more'

Jill scott is one of the headliners.

Absolutely embarrassing. No chance she was legitimately voted in as its mainly modern names they are using to push this and thats all this is. For the PR so they can attend the unveiling.

People on the internet might get upset about Borini, but they're definitely not the ones voting for Defoe either.

Your average fan loves them both. I doubt anyone in the real world is losing sleep over a marketing campaign to sell bricks.

I appreciate not everyone is into the history of SAFC, but the absence of the following names from this makes it a bit of a farce really.

James Allan, Johnny Campbell, Arthur Bridget, George Holley, Bobby Gurney, Charlie Buchan, Tom Watson, Ned Doug, Sandy McAlister, Dave Halliday and Johnny Mapson.

Above list off the top of my head and will be loads of others.

I think no Thorpe is the biggest travesty. Literally died as a result of playing for us. The ultimate legend status should be bestowed on him.

This will be a first stage imo. It will be added to over time when for want of a better phrase 'new legends' come to the fore.

 

[Mowgli]

Annoyed me more than it should have this mind

Why was she even nominated? On what criteria? Just shows she was always guaranteed to be put in it.

He was my first selection. I can only assume that most people dont know who he is otherwise he should have definitely made the 14

Youre spot on. It has annoyed you more than it should have
