My argument is really that 'legends' are somewhat universally accepted as such and transcend those generational differences. As for Jim Smith, it was a fantastic, and excirting era ... a special time in my life too as I was trying to make my own way in the professional game. I'll never forget nights such as the one where we destroyed Birmingham 4-1 at St. Andrews, or the night we came back to beat Coventry 3-2 in the cup, one of the last great floodlit nights at the Baseball Ground. It was that night at Birmingham in particular, that I realised, Jim Smith was building a really, really special side. That night at Birmingham was amazing.....Everyone that was there that night knew we had something. I remember I had to go back to work at Toyota after the game and I was telling everyone that we would win the league....for goodness sake, even Dean Sturridge looked half decent.

An amazing performance indeed. That's a bit harsh on Sturridge ... he was pretty spectacular for us that season and the next! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryson checks all three. Obviously, it depends on how selective you are with the term 'legend' but I don't think it's a bad thing to be more liberal with it than stingy. That's a good criteria. I'd add another requirement, which IMO rules Bryson out. Legend should inspire fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
