TheMaraudingDogreadingbeddingTheMaraudingDog Too many people seem to be putting ability as the most important factor in becoming a legend.
In my opinion a player can only be considered a legend at one club. Some of the players listed are more famous for playing elsewhere, some hardly played at all. A solid 6 years service is needed in my opinion.
Ruud Van Nistelrooy – A United great, but not a United legend.
Ole – A United decent player, but a legend.
Time for you to rethink.
That rules out Cantona, shame that, thought you lot loved him as well.
Time to eat your words bucko.
Maybe not 6 years then but you associate Eric with United, he played more games for us than any club.
Ian Royal seems to think that a wonder goal is enough to get legend status.
Half the players listed you'd associate elsewhere so not sure how they can be considered 'Reading Legends'
Yeah, I don't really pay much attention to that fellah.
He's that RTG/STG zany crazy guy.
There are some players that were Legends at different clubs.
Maybe Kerry Dixon was at Reading, he certainly was at Chelsea.
Kenny Dalglish was, Zidane too and maybe Maradona etc, etc.
Also, it is true that until recently anyone who could play at a better standard of football did leave us.
Certainly the majority did, perhaps my fav Michael Giles was better than us, but was loyal. But he's a Legend in my eyes.
Can't really go much further than Manchester United, probably 3 or 4 clubs.
So RFC fans' version of a legend would be different from Manchester United's, two totally different teams.
