I'm assuming that's because some clubs (like Bury for example) would struggle to think of five legends

Colin Bell, Terry McDermott, Alec Lyndsey, Neville Southall, Bobby Collins.

Not to mention John McGinley, David Lee, Mark Patterson,Tony Cunningham from that period we used them as our feeder club.

Poor Bury. I dont know who Bobby Collins is/was but the others are hardly known for their time as Bury legends are they?

I'm in same boat as Bruce -way too young to have seen Nat. Gudni Bergsson for me

[Bruce Rioja]

I knew some clever clogs'd be along. I just knew it.

He's not that clever.He missed out Derek Spence and John Forrest.

You saw him play for his school team didn't you Tango?

Well, I did once see Pele and co training on Bromwich Street (it was from afar mind).

It was for the 66 World Cup, they stayed in Chesire, trained at Bolton and I was a young stripling of 27.

[TKIZ!]

Aye, my Dad has told me all about it and how they played at West Bromwich St. He took pictures of it all and I think got autographs as well. Think he was 16 at the time

[Always hopeful]

Are you a googlewack?

No mate, not at all! I just need an input from the fans of each club...simple as

Sorry. Do you have a brother called Dave?

Lofty for sure but as a partner for him Willie Moir.

You saw him play for his school team didn't you Tango?

Well, I did once see Pele and co training on Bromwich Street (it was from afar mind).

Sorry to do this to a relatively young man like you,Tango, but this reminds me of a fascinating conversation I had at Wallasey Golf Club a couple of years ago with a guy in his 90s who had seen Bobby Jones qualify for the Open at Royal Liverpool in 1930, the year he won what was then the Grand Slam of the game (The Open, British Amateur, US Open, US Amateur all in one calendar year).

Two years ago he was still having lunch at Wallasey GC once a week. I hope he's still going strong now.

Oh and Nat Lofthouse for me - the fact that I only have tales from my late grandfather is precisely why my appreciation for Nat is as a 'legend', even if I was lucky enough to meet him as a ten year old some 16 years ago now (when he was still an impressive figure of a man).

My dad has the Nat Lofthouse 'Goals Galore' book out in his living room even today, I believe.
