Couldn't be ar5ed about clicking on it, as the outcome will be top heavy with recent players (not a whinge, just an observation) .

I remember reading something about these polls. The voting demographic always seems to be hugely weighted to the under 25's, hence relatively new things always seem to win/complete the majority of the top 10

It's also because the recent era has been the most successful since the Bevan days, so you would expect a higher proportion of recent players. One of the main criticisms of TS was that he didn't win more trophies with the squad he had available - which isn't a charge that gets put against Brian Johnson or Tony Barrow.

If this thread had been created in 2007, I wonder which recent players would be getting nominations for legend status and having the older guard up in arms. Danny Nutley, Nick Fozzard, Sid Domic and Toa Kohe-Love might have been good shouts.

That’d be one of my many options for number 3 in my list after Casablanca and Goodfellas or Goodfellas and Casablanca.

We are way to far away from the title of the thread, I thought I would try to pull us back:

In my time finally I would have to say Legend status goes to Mike Gregory for everything that he was.

My old fella would have been torn between Harry Bath and Brian Bevan.
