loveofthegame Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Not a legend but a very good player for us Don't buy into this whole "not a legend" thing. There is no rule that states to be a legend you must play 400 games or score 100s of goals for your club to qualify. The man played in one of our best teams in decades, scored a goal and penalty in one of our only two Scottish Cup victories in recent history, has entertained the fans more than any other player in quite some time, and continues to score big goals for the club. He has also scored 30 goals in just 70 games. Compare that to Hartleys 31 in 118 games, Mickey Camerons 48 in 157 games or Neil McCanns 19 goals in 74 games (in his 1st spell at the club). All club legends surely? IMO he is as worthy of the legend title as many others. He is certainly a legend to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 'second tier' legend if you like. Every club needs someone like Rudi: a hero for fans young and old to admire. I'm 33 but I still love Rudi in the way that I loved John Colquhoun when I was little.

Gigolo-Aunt Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Zal I'm 31 I just think folk are too quick to throw the legend tag about Yup - but I would say he is the closest since Robbo. I think the days of legends at Hearts are pretty much gone. Anyone who shows up well as a youngster will be sold on within a couple of years - same goes with a player we have brought in to the club. The days of players playing at a club in Scotland for a considerable period of time are pretty much gone. When you look at some of the quality that was in the Hearts, Aberdeen and Dundee United in the 80's, who played for the club for a long period, that simply would not happen now. Maybe "legend" is not the same as it was all those years ago. Could you imagine Miller, McLeish, Narey, Levein, Robbon etc, if playing in the modern game, being at their club for the amount of games that they played? Suppose folk would argue that to be a legend its not a bout the amount of time that is spent at a club but I'm not that enthusiastic about legend being used for someone who is only at the club for a couple of seasons.

Groot Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Have to go with my Star Wars themed colleague there Take away how we feel now in 10/20 years time will people talk about Rudi in the same terms as we do of Robbo et al? Personally I don't think so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victorian Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 the fact that rudi has only played just over two seasons of football with hearts actually reinforces his legend credentials. the fact that he was such a massive hit the first time around and eventually came back to rejoin us, along with the high esteem he was held in during his absence, sort of determines that he's been 'one of ours' the whole time... in a way. who decided that length of service is a critical component of becoming a legend anyway? when you place his popularity beside what he has added to the team, and continues to add... it spells L-E-G-E-N-D. i know the term 'legend' is applied incorrectly on too many occasions but if we're going to call anyone a legend in comparative terms to other players then it would certainly be rudi skacel. i'm not quite clear as to why anyone would be reluctant to bestow the honour of 'legend' upon a player anyway. what have you got to lose?

kamac1 Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 No it has nothing to do with how many posts I've got it's because I'm right you are so lucky that you were not around to see the hearts from the mid 70's to the early 80's..........rudi skacel hearts legend, best goalscorer for hearts in my lifetime and I am nearly 20 years older than you. Robbo my favourite player in my lietime, why you quoted players way before when you were born beats the hell out of me.

Groot Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Why do you assume that he doesn't go to the games, and just because he wasn't alive when some of the other players played does not lessen the merit of the point, especially when I've grown up being told all about these players I'd also wager if Rudi hadnt scored against Celtic then we wouldn't even be having this debate By the same merit, do people classify Paul Hartley a legend? For me he was a goalscoring threat for Hearts for a more sustained period of time than Rudi, is he a legend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Benoit Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Would say Hartley has a much bigger argument for being a legend than Rudi, scored as many goals in '06 than Rudi did, the semi, the goal that secured 2nd. That was from the one season, add to that he was club captain, his excellent reaction to the Celtic interest and the respect he has shown since he left. Maybe their both legends and I'm wrong but really don't you think some of you are a bit old to be getting hard ons over your fave players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hackney Hearts Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Would say Hartley has a much bigger argument for being a legend than Rudi, scored as many goals in '06 than Rudi did Because he took the penalties the semi the final the goal that secured 2nd again, a penalty ...and Rudi never played for Hibs or Celtic!
