Superb tackler. Unbelievable engine to be all over the pitch and still be going at 90 minutes (despite his hole in the heart condition). Hard bastard. Scored more than his fair share of goals.
Don Revie for the famous deep lying centre forward "Revie Plan", is deffo a leg end.
Mercer and Allison are leg ends.

Horlock,Morrison,Wiekens,Tiatto and Dickov and a whole host of other's like Dunne are all a very important part of our history but untill we start winning or atleast competing for honour's, i don't feel you can have a true legend.
Although if there had to be one for each decade then the Goat would be my choice but as much as i loved the guy in 20-30 years he'll only be remembered by us, where as Lee,Bell and Summerbee will be remembered by all and that for me is a real LEGEND.

I disagree with the part in bold, its like saying matt le tiss isnt a legend at southampton and clubs that dont win anything dont have any legends basically that only leaves the top 4 in england that are allowed legends, we won the championship but were not allowed have legends from that time?what about lower league clubs who win these divisions are they not entitled to have any legend players?
My point been in a couple of years when i look back on my time as a city fan i will class dunne and a few others as legends as they are all i know....
