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

| Quote Fat Boy="Fat Boy"Featherstone legend - maybe. "Rugby League legend" - don't think so.'"
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. |

Well it got people's interest, and that's really all his tweet was trying to achieve.

...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? |

Yes. Featherstone is in West Yorkshire, Dickens is a Featherstone legend, thereby he is a West Yorkshire Rugby League Legend.
It might only apply to Featherstone, but the title still fits. |

Hmm... Not really as Featherstone != West Yorkshire.
Surely people in the rest of West Yorkshire have to think of him as a Legend also for it to be accurate.
That's my post full of pedantary for the year. Yak. Sorry.  |
