BlueSuedeSambas 53,700 Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 With Prso set to leave in the summer I have heard certain people claim that he is a legend.It got me thinking about what is quite a simple but effective question: What does make a legend? Are there any legendary players who pull on our shirt at the moment who have done enough to truly classed as a legend? Ferguson? Prso? Klos? at a stretch Boyd? Opinions will differ I know, however, in my eyes legendary players are names like John Greig, Richard Gough, Brian Laudrup, Jim Baxter and Davie Cooper. Guys that have scored vital and memorable goals for the team, stuck their head in where it hurts and although it can vary for each fan, left them with a lasting memory of their talents and also their personality.Obviously with only be 18, I didn't really grow up watching many of the current Rangers legends and for the ones I did see I got very few chances to see any of them and perhaps I didn't fully appreciate how talented they truly were. However watching videos and clips now along with reading about them shows me that they were already legends when people watched them and are considered to be so even more now, but watching RFC now, I dont think I could really name that many guys out that are or even play like they could really fit into the legend mould.Could any of our current squad could really be considered good enough to be passed the torch or be considered a legend in years to come in the same way that the previously mentioned names have?

Barry might be regarded as one in the end, depending how the next few years go.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rossDas 1,071 Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 I don't think Dado will be remembered as a Rangers legend but I think he deserves a place in the hall of fame. He is a Rangers fan and always gave 100% Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny 9 Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 Legend is definitely overused. I love Dado but he's not one. I think he gets called it in a loose term to describe his overall contribution to us and love for us. But nothing more.Current squad we have only one contender for legendary status, and I wonder if he'll receive it given how despised he is by a section of the support.Boyd would be the only other possible, but he has a LONG way to go before he's even fit to lick Super Ally's boots.

Davy 68 Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 I regard Stefan Klos and Barry Ferguson as Rangers legends. The only ones in the current squad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Euronymous Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 At a stretch i'd go with Bazza only for true legend status.But i just have to add..Sebo - A legend! Well, when it comes to having a legendary name for crowd chants. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, when it comes to having a legendary name for crowd chants. Was down the park with my mate getting a kickabout the other day.Big fecking rotweiller flies up and tries to steal the ball, from a distance I hear 'HAW! SEBO! GET BACK OVER HERE NOW!!'Big union jack collar, made me laugh. The pooch had a better 1st touch than Sebo too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briton 394 Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 Dado Prso simply hasn't been here long enough to be a legend. The thought of Ferguson being considered a legend disgusts me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't think you are a bore with your childish claims that others are not Rangers supporters or know 'dick' because they don't agree with you? I've got news for you. You are. I recognise Ferguson as our best player, although not world class, that is a silly fanbois claim IMO. In any case...my beef with Ferguson has got absolutely f**k all to do with his talents, it's a matter of principle. I don't care if he's a cross between Pele, Maradona and Johan Cruyff...understand? Somehow I doubt it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
