Costanza Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 The phrase has been devalued and reminds me of the joke that in the old days, to be considered a legend you had to something extraordinary like pulling a sword from a stone, nowadays it's returning from the bar unexpectedly with crisps.

Of course he lifted silverware. Robbo is a legend no matter what. I doubt you will find a single Hearts fan ever who wouldn’t agree this FACT. Hearts fans would arguably bicker over the odd player being or not being a legend with Robbo there is absolutely no debate 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
151 Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 Legend, in my eyes is something/someone that/who will never be forgotten. Therefore it will always vary from person to person. Someone most folk think are shite may have gone out their way to see someones child at a time in need, or given a shirt to someone and that is memorable and to them they might be a legend. Then of course there are club legends, which is someone who has left something no one will forget or has given service over a very long period which leaves a legend. The OP the first line where they said "someone can play over 300 games and people say hes shite" yes right now they do. Give another 20 years after they retire and the fan base will no doubt unanimously say he is a legend. I can't even think of anyone who has given that kind of service to a club that is shite apart from Lewis Stevenson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brighton Jambo Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 For me a legend can be defined in two clear ways (as suggested by others to be fair): 1. Longevity at the club whilst maintaining an excellent standard and giving many wonderful memories - I.e. Robbo, Mackay, Levein, Colquhoun 2. A level of performance over the shorter term where their personal contribution took the club to silverware or unprecedented league performance - i.e. three goals in two cup finals where we lifted the trophy - Rudi. Hatrick in a cup semi final and 2nd in League - Hartley, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cult heroes aren’t always great players. Heroes invariably are. Cult: Busby and Brellier. Legends: Robbo and JC. Just two examples of each there.
