It's supposed to be "legends", not just people who have turned out in the last few years.

I don't see your point. People can't make judgments on players they've never seen play. In addition to that, the original poster seems to imply that he means a Stanley Legends team that could still play today. That being the case, it would be best suited to people who had turned out in the last few years.

By definition, a legend is someone famous about whom stories are told. So let's change it to a "Great Stanley Players Of The Last Ten Years" team.

Just to follow on from TM, is this a proposed event, or are we just passing the time between games?

In my eight years there's probably been a higher proportion of "legends" as various players have starred in the return to the League, but I can't really supply a long term perspective.

There's been a load of players who I've loved watching, Russell Payne is a big favourite. But Jamie, Jonathan and Lutel stick out along with Mike Marsh; JC himself, if only for his recovery time :) , I could go on.

Plus, of course, the two legends that are Paul Mullin and Rocky Williams.

I'd agree with you there. There aren't many true legends mentioned in this list.

However, my point was that not many people who post on the messageboard will remember Hargreaves, and that point still stands.

I'd agree TM, there's a certain amount of inflation in topics like this, and heavily biased towards the recent past. But if a team could be assembled to play against, or mixed up with, the present squad I'd pay good money.

It'd be a lot more fun than the meaningless pre season friendlies :(
