Quote: rhinoms "Define who/what is a hero or Legend then?
Jjb grew up as a local kid who supported the team he's played for with distinction during its most successful period and has been part of a legacy of home grown players that has transformed the Club from nearly men/also rans/laughing stock to SL Champions 6 times whilst also winning 3 WCC's and appearing numerous finals.
Now he hasn't been a "bit part player" either nor a "passenger" he's played a key role during that time and earned his international call ups.
Not to mention his hours spent at community and amateur club events.
In terms of RL in Leeds and the history of our Club he is a Legend and a Local Sporting Hero.'"
I have already said it above. Sinfield could be defined as a legend. Achieving something no other has in our history, and was instrumental in making that all happen, whilst others hung on to his shirt tails. Robin Hood, Captain America, Spiderman, plenty of police officers, firemen, doctors, etc, can be defined as a heros, someone playing rugby is not.
There will always be hangers on in a team sport, and individuals who are paramount to what is achieved. Sinfield is the latter.
Whether someone was born in Kirkstall, or Leicester, quite frankly makes very little difference, and I don't believe would be part of any true definition of Legend or hero.
This is not restrictred to JJB, there is plenty of players over the last 10 years who have been lucky to play with some great players, especially two or three. This is about Sinfield, and why he is over and above somebody just doing their job, he has done and achieved more than that.
