| Quote: Fat Boy "Oh - right... although saying Dickens is a Rugby League legend (or ledgend as I saw on epic fail tattoos) is, as you say, a stretch of anyone's imagination.'"
Rugby League doesn't begin and end with what is achieved at the top level though - and I'd say it is appropriate to use the term given the fact that he has played over 400 games - at prop - since breaking into the Fev team as a teenager (he's now 32)...
If he had not decided to retire (I believe to take up a coaching post at Wakefield), then next season he would have more than likely have broken the all-time appearance record for Fev - which has stood since 1934.

Featherstone legend - maybe. "Rugby League legend" - don't think so.

But it was "West Yorkshire Rugby League Legend" not just Rugby League. Fev applies here, and he is a Legend of that club.

982.jpg [quote:1pqtnbtj]Every player in our squad could probably earn more money with another club. But they prefer to sacrifice a few extra quid in their back pocket to share special memories. And playing at a place like Old Trafford on a night like this makes it all worthwhile.[/quote:1pqtnbtj]

| Rumoured to be on our radar When we signed that Pratt from featherstone wasn't he?
Also rumours of Wigan interest a few times down the years.
He's no Craig Huby mind.

I'm struggling to get my head round the meaning of the word 'Legend' in that case.
Are you saying that anyone who has played for the same club for many years can be classed as a "West Yorkshire Rugby League Legend" irrespective of ability or level?
There must be literally 100's of legends kicking about over the past century.

So you're saying James Deighton should have said 'Featherstone legend' to retire then? I'm sure that would have got the listeners tuning into Radio Leeds in their thousands to try and work out who that was
What would your criteria of a Rugby League legend be then? Presumably no one outside of Super League could ever qualify?

I think Legend is banded about all too freely. Teh opening poster on this thread calls anyone a legend usually, for example.
However, Dickens is a Legend of that one club Featherstone. Not just on the number of appearances made. But that he turned down opportunities to move out of loyalty to fev, his points scoring records, and his number of appearances or more relevant number of man of match awards for that club.

...and this is my point.
The Oxford Dictionary defines legend as “an extremely famous or notorious person, especially in a particular field”
Is Stuart Dickens “an extremely famous or notorious person” with regards to Rugby League in West Yorkshire?
