What makes a Villa Legend?

What makes a Villa Legend?  - Is the answer plastercine?

It's alright: I've already got a taxi on the way ...

Imagine the Villa having a bad start to the season and a major player moving away to Chelsea in January...

Thought you were going to mention Darren Bent there for a minute, Louise!

God - it never crossed my mind, but surely he and Gabby are happy in a mutually fulfilling relationship?  So that's the difference.  Phew!

Like has already mentioned I think it boils down to the individuals memory's. Personally I'd class Alan Wright as a legend, my memories of him are of wonder strikes, terrier like tenacity and a photo of him out jumping Tony Adams like a small baldy salmon. My memory might be hazy but in my eyes more of a legend than some of our greats. Who I have utmost respect for but who I never saw play, and have no emotional connection to.

Gabby not yet a legend in my view.  The word is bandied around quite a lot these days.  He could be if he improves year on year and I sincerely hope he does become one.  One of the few players I could see staying with us if he does become a great player, although whether thats me being naive or not, I leave to others.

How about some non playing people who gave sterling service to the club? Can they be counted as legends?
William McGregor.
George Ramsay Secretary/Manager 6 FA Cups  6 League Championships.
Ron Saunders/Tony Barton.
Steve Stride. An excellent club secretary. One black mark, he was on the three man FA panel that sanctioned Wimbledon's move to MK.
We may not sing songs about them (apart from Ron) but they all played their part in helping to make the club what it is.
