Day Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Legend is used to loosely in football today in my opinion, after 5 decent performances and a quick scarf wave Savage is apparently a legend. Which Derby players (not managers) would you say are the true legends of the club? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Day Posted April 1, 2009 Author Share Posted April 1, 2009 Played 173 games and didn't score one, not a legend in my book I haven't heard of him before either to be honest, I take it he was playing in the 1930's? Why is he a legend PTR? what did he do to earn the legend status? in your own words aswell, I've read the Wiki lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irrelevant of football, in my eyes he will always be a legend for having the balls to defy the Nazi war machine. What a hero ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Day Posted April 1, 2009 Author Share Posted April 1, 2009 Fair enough but I don't see how one action warrents his status as a Derby County legend. Sorry but Jack Kirby is going into Room 101. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Day Posted April 1, 2009 Author Share Posted April 1, 2009 Ok in my personal opinion on legend status he has gone into Room 101, like you say the guy has balls for doing what he did, but does that make him a Derby legend? no I don't think it does.

Day Posted April 1, 2009 Author Share Posted April 1, 2009 Just seeing who people class Derby County legends, like I said in the first post people are calling Savage a legend for putting in a few decent performances and waving a scarf, the same with Teale a few decent games and now he's a legend. When you talk about legends your looking at Pele and Maradona etc. Savage and Teale shouldn't be mentioned in the same sentence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
